While Far Cry 4 among other Ubisoft's bigger titles may be
missing from Steam, that hasn't stopped the publisher from bringing out the official PC specs for the upcoming open-world FPS.
The system requirements aren't too demanding compared to other more recent titles, though that can most likely be attributed to Far Cry 4 also being on past-gen consoles. Check them out below, and let us know in the comments whether your PC passes with flying colours or not.

I think the most demanding part of those specs is the recommended 5.1 surround sound.

First of all, RECOMMENDED is not mandatory. Secondly, this is the first game I have seen that requires an i5 as minimum. Considering my Q6600 did FC3 well enough on max settings and this supposedly uses the same engine I'd say that's a fair step up. Maybe the AI is a lot more complex.

True true.
Although that i5 is 1st generation... so a good CPU from... 2009

I think it is only in the UK at the mo.
Uplay is not as comprehensive as steam but it does work.
