PC Setup Quick Guide — Settings, Controls, Performance

General By RapidF5 ·

If you’ve just downloaded the PC Early Access client, here are the settings worth knowing before you queue your first activity.

Installation

  • Ubisoft Connect download — currently the only PC client; Steam is not yet officially announced.
  • ~17 GB on disk.

UI Prompts

By default, UI prompts might feel off if you’re swapping between inputs.

  • Open Settings → Generic Settings → External Device UI
  • Enable “Keyboard/Mouse Exclusive UI” if you’re playing on KB+M.
  • Enable “Controller UI” if you’re using a gamepad.
  • This swaps the on-screen prompts so they actually match your input device.

Aiming

  • Set Aim Mode to “Hold” for conventional PC ADS — right-click to aim, release to drop out.

Frame Rate

  • The Early Access client is locked at 60 FPS but supports the Very High graphics preset without the strict visual caps of mobile.
  • Phase 2 (May 12) added expanded graphics settings on some high-end devices.

Cross-Play & Cross-Progression

  • Same Ubisoft Connect account = one character across mobile and PC.
  • If you played on mobile as a guest, link your Ubisoft Connect account before logging in on PC, otherwise your progress will not carry over.

Steam Deck

  • Works through Ubisoft Connect installation on Steam Deck.
  • Community testing reports ~60 FPS on max settings with occasional stutter and ~3 hour battery life. (Note: Third-party reports, not Ubisoft-confirmed)
