Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be released on March 20, 2025, on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and even Mac. The much-awaited title comes from the beloved Ubisoft franchise and features an expansive open-world experience. The game's system requirements suggest it's not heavy on the hardware and runs on even modest systems featuring the GTX 1070. This is great news for gamers who own the RTX 4070 or the RTX 4070 Ti GPU, as they can enjoy the game at some of its best graphics settings.

The card's high-performance threshold allows you to play the game comfortably at 4K. While the game runs perfectly well as it is, it runs even better when optimized. Therefore, we recommend you moderate some of the settings to enjoy the game at its best, without worrying about performance issues.

In this article, we'll look into the best settings for Assassin’s Creed Shadows on the RTX 4070 and 4070 Ti.
