Assassin’s Creed Shadows is set to be released on March 20, 2025, on PC, the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Mac. The much-awaited title takes place in the beautiful islands of Awaji in feudal Japan. Judging by the game's system requirements, it does not appear too demanding.
Gamers who own the RTX 3060 or the RTX 3060 Ti should be able to play the game at relatively high graphics settings due to the GPU's computing prowess. However, the title runs best when optimized. Thus, we recommend tweaking the settings a little for the ideal experience.
In this article, we explore the best Assassin’s Creed Shadows settings for the RTX 3060 and 3060 Ti GPUs.
The best Assassin’s Creed Shadows settings for RTX 3060

Assassin’s Creed Shadows should run incredibly well on the RTX 3060, allowing gamers to play at upwards of 60fps without experiencing lags or glitches. The GPU should be powerful enough to handle the game at Medium settings. We've also made some tweaks to improve performance: AMD FSR should be enabled and set to Performance mode.
We recommend turning on V-Sync if you don't own a monitor with AMD FreeSync or Nvidia G-Sync. We've also turned off Motion Blur to help reduce the weightage on performance.

Assassin's Creed Shadows will run even better on the RTX 3060 Ti, where you should experience a stable 60fps. Apply Medium presets to most settings to maintain a balance of quality and performance.
