Back in June, there were hints that the console version of Just Cause 3 would be similar to Fallout 4 in that it would support mods on consoles. However, director Roland Lesterlin just confirmed that the console versions wouldn’t support mods after all. This will come as a disappointment to many individuals.
Speaking with What Culture, Lesterlin said, “We have nothing to announce on that front for Just Cause 3. Instead, we’re focused on making our in-game upgrade system reflect the ethos of mods. Those should enable players to have a huge amount of creativity.”
A few months ago, Lesterlin said, “We’re not announcing anything there yet, but we would want to support mods as much as possible.” This raised hopes that Just Cause 3 would include some form of mod support on consoles.
According to What Culture, “While the news may come as a disappointment to gamers, there are plenty of features in the Just Cause 3 upgrades system that take inspiration from Just Cause 2 mods, such as the ability to tether together several objects at once, or C4 explosives with propulsion jets to send cars flying in whichever direction you want.” This should please console owners to some degree.
