After a rather lengthy period of silence Ubisoft recently announced that South Park: The Fractured But Whole will be coming to PC and consoles on October 17th. Despite what appears to be quite a long time spent in development hell, The Fractured But Whole is thankfully going to have a properly optimized PC port, as noted by recently revealed PC System Requirements.
However, instead of simply listing out the minimum and recommended configurations and calling it a day, Ubisoft has decided to take things a step further by explaining what sort of performance you'll be able to achieve with each set up. So if you're interested in seeing what it takes to run South Park: The Fractured But Whole you'll find the PC specs and recommended graphics cards right below. Have a look:

As far as the actual settings are concerned, there's really nothing out of the ordinary here. If you have even a semi-decent gaming PC you'll be able to run The Fractured But Whole with ease, and if problems pop up there's always going to be performance-guzzling options to disable. Since there is very little else I can tell you, allow me to leave you with a brief trailer showcasing what exactly all that processing power will be going towards. Enjoy!
