Shenmue 3 PC minimum and recommended PC specs revealed

Ys Net has updated the set of Shenmue 3 PC requirements now that we're a bit more closer to launch.

Though the developer never officially published PC specs in the past for Shenmue 3, Kickstarter backers received emails with a set of minimum specs last month as a way of help them decide which platform to go for.

Those haven't changed, but Ys Net has now added the recommended specs for the game. These are significantly more demanding than the minimum requirements, in some cases strangely so. It's nothing too out of the ordinary for most games, though.

The only thing that continues to stick out is the 100GB free space requirement, which is true for both. See the two sets below:
