Features an orchestral score composed by Henry Jackman, with additional music by Just Cause series composers. The music dynamically adapts to the on-screen chaos and action. Sound design emphasizes large-scale explosions, vehicle sounds, and weapon effects fitting the game's destructive nature.

Features a clean and dynamic HUD displaying health, Focus meter (for finishers/healing), gadget/ability cooldowns, and contextual prompts. A mini-map aids navigation. The main menu provides access to the map, missions, character (skills, suits, gadgets), collectibles, and settings. The FNSM App is used for side activities and requests. Photo Mode is robust.

The UI features a minimalist design to keep the focus on the action. Key elements include a map of Medici, objective markers, ammo/health indicators, a gear mod selection interface, and contextual prompts for grappling, parachuting, and wingsuiting. A 'Chaos' meter tracks destruction, unlocking missions and items.

Offers a wide range of accessibility options, building on Insomniac's previous efforts. Includes customizable controls, extensive subtitle and caption options, options to simplify QTEs, aim assist, options for puzzle timing, high contrast modes for shaders, audio cues for collectibles and combat, gameplay speed modifiers (slow down game speed), and more.

Just Cause 3 includes standard accessibility options for its time, such as subtitle display (on/off), remappable controls (keyboard & mouse, controller support), separate volume controls for master audio, music, SFX, and voice. Options like aim assist toggle and adjustable sensitivity are also present. Advanced features like colorblind modes or extensive UI scaling were not prominent.

• CONSOLE EXCLUSIVE (PlayStation 5). PC System requirements are HIGHLY SPECULATIVE, assuming a future PC port similar in demand to other high-fidelity Sony exclusives. An NVMe SSD would be mandatory for a PC version.
• Laptop Performance Note: If ported to PC, laptop models of listed desktop GPUs will require comparable performance, very high TGP (Total Graphics Power), and excellent cooling. **This would be an extremely demanding title on PC, requiring top-tier laptop hardware for high settings, especially with ray tracing.**
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P: Maximum TGP will be absolutely crucial.
• Laptop Consideration: Cooling Thermals: Exceptional cooling needed for demanding visuals and fast-paced action.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Power Limits: Strong CPU performance needed for the dense open world and fast traversal.
• Laptop Consideration: R A M Speed Dual Channel: Fast dual-channel RAM (DDR5) would be essential.
• Laptop Consideration: M U X Switch Optimus: Using a MUX switch or NVIDIA Advanced Optimus would be critical.
• Optimization Detail: Upscaling Tech: PS5 supports various graphics modes (Fidelity/Performance). A PC port would likely include DLSS, FSR, and XeSS.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Ray Tracing (Reflections, Shadows), Texture Quality, Level of Detail, Shadow Quality, Crowd/Traffic Density, and Hair Quality would heavily impact performance on PC. The game utilizes extensive ray tracing on PS5.
• Game Name: Marvel's Spider-Man 2

• Official PC system requirements for 'Just Cause 3' (released in 2015). An SSD is recommended for better loading times. These requirements reflect hardware from that era and are modest by today's standards.
• Laptop Performance Note: Just Cause 3, with its large open world and emphasis on physics-based destruction, can still be somewhat demanding, especially during intense chaotic sequences. For a good laptop experience, a gaming laptop with a dedicated GPU from its release era or newer is recommended. Laptop GPUs and CPUs perform differently than desktop equivalents. **Performance can vary based on the specific laptop model's TGP, cooling, and overall system configuration.**
• Laptop Consideration: G P U T G P Impact: While less of a factor than with modern high-wattage GPUs, ensuring the laptop GPU receives adequate power for its class is still important.
• Laptop Consideration: Advanced Cooling Thermals: Good cooling helps maintain consistent performance, especially in a game known for numerous explosions and physics calculations that can tax the system.
• Laptop Consideration: C P U Performance Sustain: A capable mobile CPU is needed to handle the open-world streaming and physics calculations without significant bottlenecks.
• Laptop Consideration: R A M Configuration Speed: 8GB in dual-channel is recommended. While the game might run on 6GB, 8GB provides a much smoother experience.
• Laptop Consideration: Display Panel G P U Pairing: Most laptops aiming for these specs will target 1080p. The GPU should be sufficient for this resolution at desired settings.
• Laptop Consideration: Driver Updates O S Optimization: Using reasonably up-to-date GPU drivers and a well-maintained OS is beneficial for stability.
• Optimization Detail: A P I Choice: The game primarily uses DirectX 11.
• Optimization Detail: Key Settings Impact: Resolution, Texture Quality, Shadow Quality, LOD Detail, Water Quality, Anti-Aliasing, and Effects Quality (especially particles and explosions) significantly impact performance.
