Dead Rising 3 comes to PC this summer

By Will Fulton June 5, 2014

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.

Baldur’s Gate 3 is gunning for the top of the Steam charts with jaw-dropping stats

Jaheira in Baldur's Gate 3.

Baldur's Gate 3 left early access and officially launched on August 3, and it's seeing an unprecedented level of success. At the time of writing, the peak player count for the game is hovering around 537, 000, according to data from SteamDB.

Baldur's Gate 3 saw steady growth in player count ahead of its early access launch in recent weeks, and that player count number has only continued to skyrocket. Right now, Baldur's Gate 3 is the third most concurrently played game on Steam. The only games Baldur's Gate 3 is lagging behind are Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and DOTA 2, two popular multiplayer games with massive communities. PUBG: Battlegrounds, the game in fourth place, is around 200,000 players behind Larian Studios' latest.

PSA: Delete your Baldur’s Gate 3 early access saves before starting the full game

A Baldur's Gate 3 character lights the way.

Larian Studios' Baldur's Gate 3 leaves early access with its 1.0 launch on PC tomorrow, August 3. While I'm sure those who played the game on Steam during early access are quite excited, this is a reminder that you need to delete your early access save file -- and even uninstall the game to be safe -- before the launch version of Baldur's Gate 3 comes out.

The developers of Baldur's Gate 3 revealed that this would be the case in a community post in July, saying that, compared to what was available in early access, the version of the game coming out on August 3 "is so vastly different that it’s not possible to make those save files compatible." So, you will have to start fresh when this RPG leaves early access, but Larian went on to clarify this week that the safest thing for players to do to avoid any issues is to delete their early access save and even uninstall the game altogether ahead of August 3.
It broke down the steps to do this in the latest community update post. To delete a Baldur's Gate 3 save, you'll need to pick the Load Game option on the main menu, choose an old campaign save, and then choose the Delete Campaign option that appears at the bottom of the screen. After that, Larian recommends players delete any mods and uninstall the early access version of Baldur's Gate 3 from their computer altogether.
To uninstall it on Steam, simply right-click on Baldur's Gate 3 in your library, choose the Manage tab in the pop-up menu, and then pick the Uninstall option from there. Once you do all of that (and make sure your graphics card drivers are up to date), you shouldn't have any issues installing the launch version of Baldur's Gate 3 once it's available.
Baldur's Gate 3 launches for PC on August 3. For those that don't want to deal with these early access shenanigans, the game will come out for PS5 on September 6 and for Xbox Series X/S sometime in the future.
