About Assassin Creed Shadows
Assassin's Creed Shadows transports players to Feudal Japan during the tumultuous late 16th century (Azuchi-Momoyama period). The game features an unprecedented dual protagonist system, allowing players to experience the intertwined stories of Naoe, a skilled shinobi Assassin from the Iga Province seeking vengeance, and Yasuke, a powerful African samurai of historical legend who served Oda Nobunaga. Players can switch between these two distinct characters, each with their own unique playstyles, skill trees, gear, and narrative perspectives, as they explore a beautiful and vast open world, from spectacular castle towns and bustling ports to peaceful shrines and war-ravaged landscapes. The narrative delves into the complex political climate, the clash of cultures, and the ongoing shadow war between the Assassins and the Templar Order, with historical figures like Oda Nobunaga playing pivotal roles.

The 4K Beast
4K (UHD) - High (Targets High settings, up to 60 FPS, Ray Tracing possible)
Brainstormer's Pro Tip: Excellent target! Going for the 'The 4K Beast' is a perfect move for any Ultimate 4K Enthusiast. This tier is all about giving you the power to crank the settings to High settings and hit up to 60 FPS. It's the ideal balance of beautiful graphics and smooth, reliable performance!
- CPU:
- Intel Core i9-12900HX / AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX or newer flagship mobile CPUs (e.g., Intel 13th/14th Gen HX, AMD Ryzen 7000/8000 HX series).
- GPU:
- NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop (16GB, Max TGP). Even then, 4K/60FPS High will be extremely challenging and heavily reliant on aggressive upscaling.
- RAM:
- 16 GB (Dual-channel mode) (32GB Strongly Recommended)

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best laptop to play Assassin Creed Shadows?
The 'best' laptop depends on your budget and desired performance (resolution and graphics settings). Our guide provides tailored recommendations, from budget-friendly options for 1080p gaming to high-end machines capable of 4K with ray tracing for Assassin Creed Shadows. Check our 'Recommended' or 'High' tier sections for a great balance of price and performance.
How much RAM do I need for Assassin Creed Shadows?
While the minimum requirement might be 8GB, we strongly recommend at least 16GB of RAM for a smooth gaming experience in Assassin Creed Shadows. This allows the game to run effectively while also handling background processes from your operating system without performance drops.
Is an SSD required to play Assassin Creed Shadows?
While not always a strict requirement, an SSD (Solid State Drive) is highly recommended for Assassin Creed Shadows. It dramatically reduces loading times, getting you into the game faster and eliminating stutters when the game loads new areas. All our recommended laptops feature an SSD as standard.
How important is the GPU's TGP (Total Graphic Power) for Assassin Creed Shadows?
TGP is very important. Two laptops with the same GPU, like an RTX 4060, can have very different performance levels. A higher TGP (measured in watts) allows the GPU to run faster and deliver more frames per second. We specify target TGP values in our requirement tiers where possible to help you choose a laptop that performs as expected.
