Dead Rising 3 comes to PC this summer

Capcom’s Xbox One exclusive launch title Dead Rising 3 is finally making its way to PCs via Steam this summer. PC gamers will be able to turn up their settings to take advantage of the upgraded textures  and high resolution afforded by PC graphic cards. The game includes full Steam support with achievements, cloud saving, trading cards, and leaderboards. In addition to keyboard and mouse, there’s also full controller support, which can be switched in real time.

Dead Rising 3 is set 10 years after the events of Dead Rising 2. The city of Los Perdidos was long ago overwhelmed by the zombie hordes that infest the rest of the country. You play as Nick Ramos, a young mechanic trying to rally survivors and escape before a military strike wipes the city off the map. Utilizing his way with machines, Nick can craft a vast array of weapons and vehicles using scrap found throughout the city, allowing for nearly endless possibilities of mowing down hordes to your exact tastes.

Dead Rising 3 has sold over 1 million copies to date for Xbox One, and Steam’s 75 million-plus users should help to grow that horde by at least a little. It will be available for download globally and at retail in Europe this summer.

One of the most exciting announcements for PC gaming fans during Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest live stream this year was for Sid Meier's Civilization VII. It's the next entry in a long-running turn-based strategy game series about building up and thriving as a civilization from scratch.

You can get this fantastic PC game for $3 during the Steam Summer Sale
A city in Frostpunk.

We're in the midst of the Steam Summer Sale this year, and Valve is doing something a bit different this time by creating a Featured Deep Discounts section. It highlights some of the best games discounted by 90% or more. While this narrows things down, you may still have some choice paralysis while deciding among the games included this year. If you're a fan of PC city builders or games that force players to make difficult choices, I'd recommend snatching up Frostpunk for just $3, which is a 90% discount.

Released in 2018, developer 11 bit Studios describes Frostpunk as "the first society survival game." It takes place in a postapocalyptic world, but it's desolate in a different way than most of them. Rather than having the sandy barren wastelands of Mad Max or Fallout, Frostpunk's world has frozen over, and the biggest threat to humanity is generating enough heat to survive and rebuild. It's a game about rebuilding society in this snowy postapocalypse, but that's easier said than done.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster is out sooner than you think
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster's Frank West.

Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster got a September 19 release date during the Capcom Next: Summer 2024 showcase this evening.

Capcom showed up strong across this summer's live streams with games like Monster Hunter Wilds, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, which is why it was surprising when Capcom announced Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster out of the blue on June 26. The teaser was scarce with information, simply confirming the remaster's existence and showing off a redesigned version of protagonist Frank West. Capcom told fans to tune into this Capcom Next showcase to learn more, and it showed up big as the second game of the show.
