Dead Rising 4 debuted in December 2016 as a timed exclusive on the Microsoft Store.
Now those contractual ties have gone away and you can now get it on Steam.
But the most notable thing about it is simply that you’ll no longer require Windows 10 to play. Not that Windows 10 is bad (I actually quite like it), but Windows 7, as you can see in the Steam Hardware Survey, is still in widespread use. Here’s what you’ll need to play:
Minimum:
- OS: Windows 7 64-bit
- Processor: Intel i5-2400 or AMD FX 6300
- Memory: 6GB RAM
- Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 760 (2GB) or AMD Radeon HD 7850 (2GB)
- DirectX: Version 11
- Storage: 50GB available space
- Sound Card: DX11-compatible sound card
Recommended:
- OS: Windows 10 64-bit
- Processor: Intel i7-3770 or AMD FX 8350
- Memory: 8GB RAM
- Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX 970 (4GB) or AMD Radeon R9 290 (4GB)
- DirectX: Version 11
- Storage: 50 GB available space
- Sound Card: DX11-compatible sound card
Dead Rising 4 on Steam goes for $60/£40/€60, while the season pass will cost you another $20/£16/€20.
