Before we move on to anything else, it is worth pointing out that the For Honor closed beta will start on January 26th. But unlike most closed betas out there, this ones is anything but exclusive. So if you would like to give For Honor a try ahead of its February 14th release date you simply need to go to the official website, choose a faction and your preferred weapon, and you'll be granted a beta key - its as simple as that!
And if you're wondering what kind of a PC you'll need in order to even run For Honor, you're in luck as Ubisoft has just released the official system requirements, as well as a list of officially supported GPUs and controllers. Have a look:
