Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced requires ray tracing enabled by default on all graphics presets and cannot be disabled

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced PC requirements confirm mandatory ray tracing, upscaling, and high-end specs for 4K gameplay.

Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced will be testing players’ PCs as Ubisoft has now officially released the system requirements for the upcoming remake. While graphical enhancements are to be expected, take note that ray tracing will be enabled by default unlike past Assassin’s Creed titles.

Similar to Assassin’s Creed Shadows, ray tracing features such as global illumination and reflections will be forced on all graphics presets. Meaning players won’t even be able to turn it off on lower settings and will also require hardware capable of upscaling.
