Ubisoft has outlined its minimum recommended PC specs for its upcoming open-world shooter Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Wildlands, revealing that beta participants will need at least an Intel Core i5-2400S 2.5 GHz or AMD FX-4320 4 GHz processor or equivalent in order to explore the simulated Bolivian wilderness with friends.

According to Ubisoft, Ghost Recon Wildlands beta players will also need at least 6 GB of system RAM, along with an NVIDIA GeForce GTX660 or AMD R9 270X graphics card that supports Shader Model 5.0 or better.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands returns Ubisoft’s long-running shooter series to a modern-day setting, dropping players into the untamed wilderness of Bolivia in order to take down its controlling drug cartels. Solo players can experience the majority of Ghost Recon: Wildlands‘ content on their own, though the game also supports co-op gameplay for online squadrons of up to four soldiers each.

Players will want to make sure that their squad mates can handle the game’s fairly demanding hardware requirements, and while the experience will be playable on many lower-end machines, an upgrade might be necessary to get the most from the experience.

Ubisoft’s recommended system requirements for Ghost Recon: Wildlands demand at least 8 GB of system RAM and an Intel Core i7- 3770 (3.5 GHz) or AMD FX-8350 (4 GHz) processor or equivalent to achieve a consistent framerate at high resolutions with maximum detail. The publisher also recommends a video card with 4GB of VRAM, such as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX970/GTX 1060 or AMD’s R9 390/RX480.

All Wildlands players will need at least 50 GB of free hard drive space in order to install all beta content. Currently, there’s no word as to how much hard drive space the final version will require at launch.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands debuts on March 7 for the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Windows PCs. A closed beta will kick off across all platforms on February 3, and Ubisoft is currently accepting applications.

More Crysis Remastered leaks reveal console and PC launches
Crysis Remastered

Eagle-eyed fans spotted information on Crytek's website indicating the heavily rumored Crysis Remastered is in development. This comes after enigmatic teases from the game's Twitter account that led fans to speculate about a revival of the first-person shooter series. No official announcement regarding the alleged remaster has been made.

A since-removed logo of the currently unannounced game appeared on the official Crysis website in the normally innocuous cookie policy page. Clicking the image led to a page that revealed a potential Crytek title for a remaster of its 2007 game Crysis, the first in its series.

ubisoft overhauls ghost recon breakpoint overhaul

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Breakpoint, one of the most disappointing games of 2019, will receive a major overhaul after a disastrous first five months since it was launched in October 2019.

Ghost Recon Breakpoint not only released with various bugs, but it also had a microtransaction system that did not quite fit with the game's mechanics and a tiered loot system that did not sit well with players.

New Atari 50 DLC shows the Intellivision acquisition is already paying off
An Atari 2600+ sits on a table.

Digital Eclipse's Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration is an excellent and comprehensive look back at the company's now classic video game lineup, with games to play and extra content to interact with. So far, it's gotten one DLC: The Wider World of Atari, that added even more titles. Now, it's about to get its second, thanks to an acquisition it made earlier this year.

Atari announced The First Console War on Friday, and it's about, as you can guess, the company's first console war with the Intellivision, although it'll touch on a specific element of it. In the 1980s, Mattel was publishing games on the Intellivision. At some point, it decided to release versions of these console exclusives for its main competitor, the Atari 2600, under the M Network label. There are 19 of these games coming to Atari 50 with The First Console War, which is set to launch on November 8 for PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4 Atari 50 owners.
