Like the shambling undead enemies that face Chuck Greene and Frank West, you can't keep the Dead Rising series down. From the successful Steam launch of Dead Rising 4 to the release of Frank Rising the series keeps coming.

Now we've returned to the classic Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off The Record to bring Steam Cards to the games. All cards have a standard (blue) and rare foil (silver) version, so get working on completing your own set today.

The entire Dead Rising series is now on Steam from Frank West's first appearance through to his most recent outing.

Dead Rising 4 is unleashing a new kind of undead plague on PCs this spring when it arrives for Steam on March 14th, 2017.

It’s time to get gory as photojournalist and zombie outbreak survivor Frank West returns to Willamette, Colorado sixteen years after the events of the original Dead Rising. Frank finds the town under siege from another zombie infestation and the rebuilt Willamette Memorial Megaplex Mall stocked with bloody entrails and all sorts of consumer goods.

Frank will not only be pitted against the zombie horde but also two new and dangerous kinds of undead creatures as he comes across spry and energetic freshly infected zombies and the dangerously intelligent Evo threat. He will also face a shadowy para-military organization and some not-so-friendly survivors who have their own opinions on how to make it through the zombie apocalypse.

Can Frank uncover what’s behind this latest zombie outbreak? Can he get out of Willamette alive? Just how many selfies will he take? With intense action and an unmatched level of weapon and character customization, Dead Rising 4 delivers a heart pounding experience as players explore, scavenge and fight to survive in an open world sandbox on the brink of the next undead outbreak.

The digital Steam release is available to pre-order starting today at a special faaantastic 20% off price of $47.99 (USD). After launch the game will then become $59.99 (USD).

To confirm if you have the PC weaponry needed to support the hordes in Dead Rising 4 the PC specs are below.

So get your roll of duct tape, grab a burrito off the food court floor and start arming yourself to face this new undead threat on Steam.

Thanks for your patience everyone, the save migration tool for DR2 and DR2OTR for Steamworks is now live. The tool will allow you to transfer progress from GFWL to Steam.


1. Boot the title.
2. Proceed to the Main Menu.
3. Select Import Games for Windows Live.
4. Select YES at the prompt.
5. Select “DCPHOTO.DPF,” “DCSAV01.DSF,” “DCSAV02.DSF,” or “DCSAV03.DSF”
6. Maximize the title.
7. Select OK at the "Import Successful" prompt.
8. Go back to the Main Menu.
9. Select Start game.
10. Load the save file.


Please note that although we had originally intended to also migrate the GFWL Achievements alongside the save data migration, due to technical reasons, the tool is only able to transfer over the save data only and not the Achievements. Note that some, but not all, achievements will unlock as a result of transferring your save. We apologize for any inconvenience but hope you will continue to enjoy the game on Steam.

In addition to the save import, the following issues have been addressed:

• Added in support for the X1 controller.
• Fixed a crash for users with usernames longer than 24 characters.
• Fixed a crash that occurs when PC audio quality setting are set over 48000hz

At long last, Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record have made their way to Steamworks! To celebrate, Steam's holding a big Dead Rising Franchise Sale. If you already own DR2 or DR2:OTR as GFWL titles, be sure to check yesterday's announcement because you might be eligible to redeem the Steam versions for free.

Meanwhile, DLC and Dead Rising 3 are also on sale, so be sure to check the sale either way!

*Please note that this is a global sale with the exception of Japan, who will be served at a later date.

Here’s some news that’s sure to raise both eyebrows and the dead. Zombie slayfests Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record have made their long-awaited transition to Steamworks, and will be available TOMORROW, March 17th, complete with Steam Achievements!

If you already own these games either through Steam (as GFWL titles) or as boxed retail copies, you can acquire a free Steamworks copy by following the instructions below.

Please note that if you have the GFWL version, you can certainly continue playing there. All of our applicable GFWL titles continue to support LIVE features and will function normally. To continue playing on GFWL Service though, you must maintain a separate installation using the GFWL activation key.

Q: If I already have the GFWL version of the game, how do I get the Steamworks version?

A: If you purchased a retail package GFWL version, you can use the GFWL activation code and redeem it on Steam to get a free copy of the full Steamworks-enabled version. Those who have already purchased the game on Steam or through other online distributors selling Steam keys will automatically be upgraded to the full Steamworks edition.

If you purchased a digital copy directly from the Microsoft GFWL marketplace, you can continue to enjoy the game(s) on GFWL Service. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate a Steamworks transfer for these folks as there is no authentication option available. However, all of our applicable GFWL titles continue to support the features and will function normally. To continue playing on GFWL, you must maintain a separate installation using the GFWL activation key.

Q. Will my save data be compatible with the new Steamworks version?

A: We’ve implemented a save data and Achievements migration tool that’s built right into each game. The tool will allow you to transfer progress from GFWL to Steam. However, the game will require that you install and sign into the GFWL client since the game needs to authenticate unlocked Achievements recorded on the GFWL service. Those who wish to start the game from scratch can skip the GFWL client installation entirely since the save/Achievement migration is optional.

Note the GFWL save data and achievement migration tool will be ready shortly after launch; please stay tuned for an announcement on the official Steam forum.

Q: Will the new Steamworks versions support any Steam features? (Steam Trading Cards, Steam Achievements, Steam Cloud, leaderboards, etc.)

A: DR2 and DR2:OTR will support the standard suite of Steamworks features including Matchmaking, Achievements, Leaderboards, Cloud save, and Trading Cards (Trading Cards will be coming at a later date).

Q: Will previous DLC carryover from GFWL to Steam?

A: Unfortunately, DLC content purchased directly from Microsoft’s GFWL Marketplace store will not carry over to Steam due to the lack of CD/activation key. Those who wish to play the game with their DLC can continue to do so with the GFWL version of the game installation and under the GFWL service.
