Rayman Legends Retold PC Requirements Demand an RTX 4080 for 4K
Beefy.
Rayman Legends Retold is a full remake of Ubisoft’s classic platformer, with modern graphical improvements across every aspect of its presentation. As a result, the system requirements have increased significantly, with 4K requiring a beefy RTX 4080, though lower targets are much more scalable.
Here are the complete system requirements for Rayman Legends Retold.
Rayman Legends Retold PC System Requirements
| Requirement | Minimum | Recommended | Recommended 2K | Recommended 4K |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Target Resolution | 1080p | 1080p | 1440p | 2160p (4K) |
| Target FPS | 60 FPS | 60 FPS | 60 FPS | 60 FPS |
| Preset | Low | High | High | Ultra |
| Upscaling | Quality (FSR, XeSS) | Quality (DLSS, FSR, XeSS) | Quality (DLSS, FSR, XeSS) | Quality (DLSS, FSR) |
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit) | Windows 11 (64-bit) | Windows 11 (64-bit) | Windows 11 (64-bit) |
| CPU | Intel i3-8100 @ 3.6GHz Ryzen 3 3100 @ 3.6GHz or better | Intel i5-8400 @ 2.8GHz Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6GHz or better | Intel i5-8400 @ 2.8GHz Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6GHz or better | Intel i5-9400 @ 2.6GHz Ryzen 5 3600 @ 3.6GHz or better |
| RAM | 8 GB (Dual-Channel) | 16 GB (Dual-Channel) | 16 GB (Dual-Channel) | 16 GB (Dual-Channel) |
| GPU | GTX 1660 (6GB) RX 5500 XT (4GB) Arc A580 (8GB) | RTX 2060 Super (8GB) RX 5700 (8GB) Arc A750 (8GB) | RTX 3070 (8GB) RX 6750 XT (12GB) Arc B850 (12GB) | RTX 4080 (16GB) RX 7900 XTX (24GB) |
| Storage | 33 GB SSD | 33 GB SSD | 33 GB SSD | 33 GB SSD |
| DirectX | DirectX 12 | DirectX 12 | DirectX 12 | DirectX 12 |
A few takeaways from this. First, every target uses the Quality preset for upscaling, which isn’t ideal but is still better than something like Performance. Given the hardware diversity listed here, Rayman Legends Retold seems fairly scalable, offering an upscaled 1080p experience on an RTX 2060 Super paired with a Ryzen 5 3600. The CPU requirement across 1080p (Recommended), 1440p, and 4K is the same on AMD’s side, which suggests the game isn’t particularly CPU-heavy, regardless of resolution.
On the GPU side, you can play at upscaled 1440p with an RTX 3070, but if you’re planning to push things to Ultra and target upscaled 4K instead, you’ll need an RTX 4080, which is still a fairly powerful GPU today. Obviously, these things are more nuanced than raw numbers, because you should be open to turning things down from Ultra regardless of how powerful your GPU is, especially if you’re hoping to play beyond 60 FPS.
Outside of that, 33 GB of free space is required, a big jump from the original’s 6 GB on PC, but this is a modern title, so it makes sense. Additionally, 16 GB of RAM is recommended, which is pretty much the standard for most modern titles. Oh, and Intel GPUs require ReBAR to be enabled.
Rayman Legends Retold Release Date
Rayman Legends Retold launches on PC, Xbox Series S|X, PS5, and Nintendo Switch 2 on December 3, 2026. It also includes Rayman Origins: Enhanced Edition, an upgraded version of the 2011 platformer.
These seemingly high requirements aren’t exactly new for Ubisoft titles, but what reassures me is that Ubisoft has done an excellent job on PC over the past decade with optimization and scalability. Their PC releases usually feature a wealth of settings to tweak and largely stable performance across the board, even if you aren’t getting a high framerate. I expect Rayman Legends Retold to be of the same quality.
