For the last three months, PC gamers interested in Dead Rising 4 only had one source for the game: the Windows 10 Store. If you haven’t upgraded your operating system, or just aren’t a fan of Microsoft’s digital storefront, then your only other option was to buy an Xbox One (if you didn’t have one already) and the console version of Dead Rising 4 . But that all changes next month.
Dead Rising 4 will make the jump to Valve’s beloved marketplace in mid-March, Capcom confirmed this week, ending the staged PC rollout Microsoft keeps trying to use to make PC owners care about the Windows Store. The game is already listed on Steam, where it’s enjoying a 20 percent discount until launch, and Capcom also published the minimum and recommended system for anyone uncertain whether or not their PC can handle Dead Rising 4.
