Ubisoft and Nvidia have released a new Watch Dogs trailer designed to show off the high-end graphics that will be available to those with a powerful PC.
In the video, engineer Paul Vlasie talks about how Nvidia and Ubisoft Montreal have worked together to add the hardware maker’s HBAO+ tech, designed to create more realistic shadows, and its fancy TXAA anti-aliasing effects.
“We really want to make sure PC gamers will be able to enjoy and explore the most realistic and visually stunning world environment ever created,” Vlasie says.
Ubisoft also reportedly said earlier this week that it was targeting a resolution of 1080p on the PlayStation 4, but made no reference of the goal for Xbox One.
The PC version of Watch Dogs is now available to preorder from Steam, which also posted the game’s minimum and recommended system requirements.
Specs are a but on the steep side but game deserves it and it will be awesome to play on the PC!
