Rayman Legends Retold's 4K PC Requirements Are Surprisingly Hungry

Rayman Legends Retold's 4K PC Requirements Are Surprisingly Hungry — original editorial gaming news illustration

The PC specifications for Rayman Legends Retold are raising eyebrows, particularly at the top end where Ubisoft recommends an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4080 or AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX for 4K resolution at 60 frames per second on Ultra settings with quality-mode upscaling. That is formidable hardware for a colourful platformer descended from a series once happily running on machines whose cooling solution was essentially 'a few holes in the plastic.' Lower presets are substantially friendlier, and Ubisoft has already corrected a typo in the requirements graphic concerning the standard recommended Nvidia card, clarifying that the intended model was the RTX 2060 Super. Nevertheless, the 4K target illustrates just how expensive modern high-resolution effects, lighting and detailed artwork can become even when a game isn't rendering photorealistic cities containing 400 individually simulated pedestrians. Retold is designed as a lavish reworking of Rayman Legends rather than a simple resolution bump, so there is presumably more happening underneath those beautifully animated surfaces than the cheerful cartoon presentation initially suggests.
