Ubisoft’s upcoming Anno 117: Pax Romana marks the next major installment in the long-running city-building strategy series — and it’s shaping up to be the studio’s most ambitious project yet. Powered by Ubisoft’s proprietary Empire Engine, the game looks stunning and runs smoothly, according to early demo impressions.
Now, Ubisoft has officially revealed the system requirements for Anno 117: Pax Romana, detailing what kind of hardware you’ll need for different resolutions and performance targets.

These detailed requirements provide a clear look at what kind of performance you can expect. For most players, 1440p will likely be the sweet spot. To hit 60 FPS on high settings, Ubisoft recommends a Ryzen 5 5600X paired with an RTX 4070 Ti Super.
While demanding, the specs seem reasonable given the game’s large-scale simulations, visual fidelity, and constant CPU-heavy calculations.
If you’ve tried the demo, you’ll know that Anno 117 supports both DLSS and FSR, which can help improve framerates significantly—especially at higher resolutions.
