Watch Dogs PC Requirements Revealed, Can Your Rig Run Ubisoft’s Open-World Chicago?

Watch Dogs will arrive on store shelves this summer, but determining which platform to buy the game on might be a struggle if you have both a PC and a next-gen console. I'll probably play the game on PS4 (an "uncanny" fit) as that's the platform I've seen most in demonstrations at Ubisoft, but you can make the choice for yourself as Ubisoft has unveiled the hardware requiremetns for running Watch Dogs on PC.

Ubisoft has recently unveiled a new Welcome to Chicago trailer and Australia bumped the rating up to Adults-Only due to sexual violence. I've written about how the title reflects our every day lives with moral gray areas, but the hype storm is brewing. Let's get to the specs:
