Can I Run For Honor on My PC / Laptop?

Yes, that's the recommended amount and it's plenty. The game doesn't push much past it even during large team fights.

For the game itself, yes, since 8GB already covers the recommended spec. 16GB still helps if you're running Discord, a browser, or streaming software alongside it.

No. The listed requirement is just 90GB of space with no SSD stipulation, and since the game doesn't stream open-world assets the way newer titles do, a hard drive works fine. An SSD only shortens load screens.

About 90GB according to the official Steam listing. Actual install size can vary slightly with updates.

Yes, with room to spare. The recommended spec only asks for 3GB on Nvidia cards or 4GB on AMD, so a 4 to 6GB card handles the game even at 1440p.

Neither is usually the deciding factor once you're at or above the recommended tier, since the game is light overall. A weak CPU below the i3-4150 tier is more likely to show up as dips during a chaotic 4v4 brawl than a weak GPU is.

On hardware that meets the minimum spec, stutter is usually a network issue rather than a local performance one, since the game is always-online. Background overlays, an out-of-date GPU driver, or a server hiccup are the more common culprits than raw horsepower.

Modes like 4v4 Dominion throw a lot of characters, effects, and hit reactions on screen at once, which leans harder on your CPU's single-core performance than a quiet duel does. It's the one scenario where an older CPU can show its age even if the GPU is fine.

No hard engine cap. With vsync off, a mid-range card can push well past 100 fps at 1080p. The combat system is simply designed around holding a steady 60 fps rather than chasing the highest number possible.

Yes, through the Performance Mode patch added after launch, which runs up to 4K at a locked 60 fps on PS5 and Xbox Series X, and 1080p60 on Series S. A separate Quality Mode trades some of that for higher resolution and effects.

Yes, across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, on by default with an opt-out in settings. Cross-platform voice chat isn't supported yet, and opting out of crossplay usually means longer matchmaking.

Yes, your rank and unlocks carry across platforms as long as they're tied to the same Ubisoft account. It's a separate system from the crossplay matchmaking toggle.

Yes. Every mode, including the story campaign, has required an online connection since the game launched in 2017, a decision that was criticized at the time and still catches new players off guard.

The base game isn't free, but Ubisoft runs periodic free weekends and trial periods, and the game itself goes on steep sales fairly often.

DirectX 9.0c is what's officially listed, which is notably old for a game of this scope. It doesn't affect performance on modern systems; current GPU drivers handle it without issue.

The official listing names Windows 10, but the game runs fine on Windows 11 in practice with no special patch or workaround needed.

The game doesn't have a built-in fps counter. Use Steam's overlay (enable it under Settings, In-Game), your GPU's driver overlay, or a tool like MSI Afterburner instead.

There's no in-game frame rate limiter beyond toggling vsync. To set a specific cap, most players use a driver-level limiter (Nvidia or AMD control panel) or a tool like RivaTuner.

Shadow Quality and Anti-Aliasing cost more than they're worth visually in this engine, so lower those first. VRAM almost never runs short on this game, so you can usually leave texture quality higher than you'd expect on weaker hardware.

Yes, with room to spare. For Honor recommends less than the RTX 3050 offers, so expect smooth 1080p high and a playable 1440p.

The GTX 1650 gets you in. It meets For Honor's minimum, so low to medium at 1080p works, and turning a couple of things down keeps it steady. Roughly 75 to 85 fps at 1080p on high settings, plenty for smooth combat timing.

That is more than enough. The GTX 1060 6GB clears For Honor's recommended requirement, so aim for high at 1080p or step up to 1440p. About 100 to 110 fps at 1080p on maxed-out settings, well past what the game needs.

Runnable. The RX 580 covers For Honor's minimum, meaning 1080p low to medium and a smoother feel after a small settings drop. Around 95 to 105 fps at 1080p high, similar territory to the GTX 1060 6GB.

Yes, comfortably. The RTX 4060 sits at or above For Honor's recommended card, so 1080p on high is smooth and 1440p is well within reach. About 130 to 140 fps at 1440p, with 4K settling around 70 to 80 fps.

Comfortably, yes. The RTX 3060 clears For Honor's recommended bar, which puts high 1080p and 1440p both in reach. About 110 to 120 fps at 1440p high, and still close to 60 fps at 4K.

Yes, with room to spare. For Honor recommends less than the RTX 2060 offers, so expect smooth 1080p high and a playable 1440p. Roughly 140 fps at 1080p on max settings, with the GPU rarely the limiting factor at this tier.

Yes. The GTX 1660 has headroom over For Honor's recommended card, so you can push 1080p high and move to 1440p when you want.

Yes, comfortably. The GTX 1660 Super sits at or above For Honor's recommended card, so 1080p on high is smooth and 1440p is well within reach.

Plenty of power here. The RX 6600 is above For Honor's recommended tier, so high 1080p is smooth and 1440p is a fair target. Around 130 to 150 fps at 1080p max settings, far more than the 60 fps target needs.

Yes. On the GTX 1660 Ti, For Honor runs at high settings in 1080p and scales up to 1440p without much fuss.

For sure. The RTX 3060 Ti outpaces For Honor's recommended card, leaving you high 1080p now and 1440p whenever you like. Roughly 130 to 145 fps at 1440p high, well ahead of the combat target.

No trouble at all. The RTX 4050 meets or beats what For Honor recommends, so 1080p high runs well and 1440p is realistic.

The GTX 1050 Ti gets you in. It meets For Honor's minimum, so low to medium at 1080p works, and turning a couple of things down keeps it steady. Around 60 to 70 fps at 1080p on high settings, already above the 60 fps combat target.

For sure. The RTX 4070 outpaces For Honor's recommended card, leaving you high 1080p now and 1440p whenever you like. 160 fps or higher at 1440p, essentially limited by your monitor rather than the game.

Ubisoft skipped macOS with this one, so a MacBook has nothing to run natively. GeForce Now or Xbox Cloud Gaming cover the streaming route, and Parallels or Boot Camp let you install Windows locally if you'd rather have it on the machine itself.

Older, basic integrated graphics fall short of the 2GB dedicated minimum. Newer strong integrated chips, like Radeon 780M or Intel Iris Xe, can often handle it at lower settings since the CPU and RAM requirements are modest too, but expect to drop resolution for a steady frame rate rather than assume it'll be smooth.

ChromeOS never got a native build here either, so cloud streaming through GeForce Now or Xbox Cloud Gaming is the only door into a Chromebook.

Yes, though Steam Deck sits at Playable rather than Verified because of launcher and anti-cheat quirks, not raw power; it only became playable there after a 2023 patch. ROG Ally and Legion Go run full Windows, which avoids most of that friction, so any of the three handles the game's modest demands without trouble once it's running.

Yes, and it doesn't take an especially powerful card to do it. A recommended-tier GPU or better holds close to 60 fps at 1440p, and something in the RTX 3060 to RTX 4060 range keeps 4K near or at 60 fps too.

Yes, that's really the whole story of this page. The official minimum, a GTX 950 or 1050 with 2GB VRAM, an i3-4150, and 4GB of RAM, is easily met by budget hardware that's several years old.

Yes. The i3-4150 is the official minimum CPU, and Ryzen 3-class chips clear that with room to spare. A weaker CPU tends to show up as dips during large 4v4 fights rather than a hard block on launching the game.

Not natively. Cloud streaming apps for GeForce Now or Xbox Cloud Gaming are the way to play it on a phone or tablet, connection permitting.

Yes, it's available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, with crossplay against PC. This page covers the PC version specifically.

No, there's no Switch version. It's available on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox only.

Yes, it's available on GeForce Now and Xbox Cloud Gaming, which is a good option on a Mac, Chromebook, or older PC that doesn't meet the local spec.

Ubisoft hasn't shipped an official Linux build, but Proton carries it on a Linux desktop about as well as it does on Steam Deck, anti-cheat quirks and launcher hiccups included.

On a PC that meets the minimum spec, a failure to launch is almost always a software problem rather than a hardware one: a Ubisoft Connect or Steam overlay conflict, an out-of-date GPU driver, or the Easy Anti-Cheat service not running. Try running the game as administrator and updating your GPU driver before assuming your PC can't handle it.

Only if you're currently below the minimum spec. Once you're at or above the recommended tier, a faster GPU mostly buys you a higher uncapped frame rate rather than fixing anything, since the game rarely struggles to hold 60 fps on hardware from the last several years.

Generally yes. At the minimum, a GTX 950 or 1050 with 2GB VRAM, expect a steady 1080p on low to medium settings around 30 to 45 fps, which is playable though not the smooth 60 fps the combat system is built around.

Performance-wise, PC allows an uncapped frame rate and higher resolutions than either console generation offers, but the actual combat feel is similar once you're holding a steady 60 fps on either platform. Console performance modes have closed most of the gap since their post-launch patches.

This error usually comes from Ubisoft Connect misreading your hardware rather than your PC genuinely falling short, and it shows up most on laptops with both integrated and dedicated graphics. Update your GPU driver, make sure Windows is set to run the game on the dedicated GPU, and update Ubisoft Connect itself before assuming your system is under spec.

On a PC that meets the minimum spec, repeat crashes usually trace back to an outdated GPU driver, a conflict with an overlay like Discord or GeForce Experience, or a corrupted Ubisoft Connect cache. Updating your driver and verifying the game files clears most of these.
