Ubisoft have confirmed the For Honor system requirements and, if you’re prepared to push the settings right down, you can run on some fairly old hardware.
As a British-run website, For Honor is quite an irritating game for us. Like Fallout 4’s Far Harbor expansion or Paper Mario: Color Splash, the simple fact is, the name isn’t spelled right. For Honour. Far Harbour. Colour Splash.
Of course, you could just take President Trump’s approach and spell the word however the hell you damn well please:
Seriously, America, this is your new President. Take a good hard look at yourselves. We thought our own omnishambles – the Brexit vote – might serve as a warning to you, like a Dickensian ghost of political disasters yet to come, but you just couldn’t let one go, could you?
Anyway, back to the welcome distraction of video games as the real world burns around us; here are the For Honer For Honor system requirements:

Fully Supported Controllers

- PlayStation 4 (Original/Pro)
Partially Supported Controllers (may require third-party drivers)
- Any third-party Xbox-compatible controller
- Logitech Chillstream
- OUYA controller
- Steam controller
- PlayStation 3 controller
While it’s no surprise that the OUYA and other weird and wonderful third-party controllers aren’t on the officially supported list, it’s perhaps an indicator of how poorly Valve’s Steam Controller has taken off. No amount of funky trackpads or haptic feedback has been able to undermine just how solidly an Xbox 360/Xbox One performs.
And for the record, though this really should need stating, we got the For Honor system requirements from Ubisoft themselves. If you find that something doesn’t work please don’t yell at us about it in the comments section; we didn’t make the game or any of the components or peripherals, and yelling at us isn’t going to help. It sounds really silly to have to say that, but we see it all the time.
Perhaps you could try updating your drivers, giving it a reboot, and – if it still doesn’t work – go and yell at Ubisoft instead of us.
For Honor launches on February 14, 2017, for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.
Wasn’t a bad read to be honest, with the exception of the uncalled for criticism of the Steam Controller at the end. “No amount of funky trackpads or haptic feedback has been able to undermine just how solidly an Xbox 360/Xbox One performs” It performs better in all but one scenario, which is Plug ‘n’ Playability, as one would expect.
i have better specs than all of those but yet i lag, is there a way to fix this?
I am pretty happy about For Honor PC requirements. 🙂 I hope the graphics will be really great and it will help to immerse in the game with entire soul. Can’t wait to play the actual game!
