Watch Dogs PC specs released earlier today were not the official configurations

Looks like the Watch Dogs PC specs which were released earlier today were not the official configurations, apparently.

According to a tweet from the game's graphics technical director, the real recommended and minimum requirements will "come out soon and will be lower" than the ones posted. Thank the gods is all I have to say on the matter (-steph).
