Ubisoft Dishes out Far Cry 3 PC Specs and DRM Details

Can your PC run Far Cry 3? Though it’s been an age-old question for all PC gamers, Ubisoft has taken the liberty of breaking down the necessary specifications for running their latest game on a Windows PC. They’ve even gone as far as to give example setups of the minimum, recommended, and hi-performance builds that will run the game. How thoughtful!

Ubisoft has also dished out the DRM details for the game, stating that while you’ll have to do a one-time Uplay activation of the game while connected to the Internet, you’ll be able to play the game while offline if you desire.

“Once activated, the game can be played online to enjoy new social features in single player and multiplayer, such as Friends, Party and Chat, or switched to offline mode in the Uplay PC settings menu for a single player experience without broadband connection.”

See that, guys? That’s Ubisoft getting better at embracing the PC as a viable platform, a platform that’s enjoyed by more than just thieving pirates.
