The minimum requirements don’t seem too bad to be honest, but I imagine if you really want to crank Just Cause 3 up to Ultra, you’ll need a pretty beefy rig to run all the explosions which will no doubt be happening in the background. Being a console peasant, this is not something I have to worry about but due to the high modability of Just Cause 2 and the fact that it is still selling based on some of the ridiculous mods for the PC version. Making sure JC3 can run on toasters as well as super computers was probably a big requirement for Avalanche and Square Enix. I suppose you do have Black Friday and Cyber Monday to buy any last minute bits of kit in order to run Just Cause 3 effectively.

We are ready to tear round the islands of Medici and cause innumerable property damage next week so keep an eye out for our review of Just Cause 3 very soon.
