Saints Row: The Third PC system requirements revealed

The PC port of Saints Row 2 was perhaps one of the worst to grace the platform ever. The game was plagued with ridiculous stability issues that made it a worthless purchase to many on the platform. Now, THQ is offering PC gamers an insight at the system specifications required to run the new open-world actioner.

From the looks of it, Saints Row: The Third is quite demanding. It requires a Quad Core processor as the recommended specs suggest, in addition to a DirectX 11 GPU. Hopefully that’s because of it being a much refined version as opposed to a straight-up messy console port.

Saints Row: The Third is expected to hit stores on November 15. Check them listed specs below.
