Per the Epic Games Store page for Assassin's Creed Shadows, the system requirements for PC players are as follows:

Minimum system requirements

• Operating System: Windows 10
• CPU: Intel i7-4790 or AMD Ryzen 5 1600
• RAM: 8 GB
• Storage: 100 GB; SSD likely mandatory
• GPU: Nvidia GTX 1060 (6 GB variant) or AMD RX 570 (4 GB)
• DirectX version: DirectX 12

Recommended system requirements

• Operating System: Windows 10 or newer
• CPU: Intel i7-8700k or an AMD Ryzen 5 3600 - or newer
• RAM: 16 GB
• Storage: 100 GB; SSD recommended
• GPU: Nvidia RTX 2070 (8 GB) or AMD RX 5700XT (8 GB) or newer
• DirectX version: DirectX 12

A Ubisoft account is required for login purposes. The game will also be available in a plethora of voiceovers, supported by even more extensive subtitle work.

Judging by these Assassin's Creed Shadows system requirements alone, the title seems well optimized for PC. The game should be able to run on a wide range of PC hardware - given that it has support for the GTX 10xx series of Nvidia cards, which are quite dated at this point.

This should, in theory, also allow Assassin's Creed Shadows to run on handheld gaming PCs, (such as the Steam Deck and ROG Ally) with relative ease at reasonable TDP limits, which should, in turn, boost battery life.
