Hit the fairway and the zombie hordes with Frank West in Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf out now
“You said we were gonna play mini golf!” – Frank West, Dead Rising 4.
Frank West was promised mini golf and he’s going to get mini golf, as Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf launches today on Xbox One, Windows 10 and Steam.
Bringing three modes of zombie stroking play to the tee (Online Multiplayer, Local Multiplayer and Single Player), we’ve constructed a challenge for the most avid undead golfer. With Frank in the announcer’s box offering the most colorful of color-commentary, players will take control of Connor, Isaac, Jessa and Jordan as they compete on six different courses each with four holes. Armed with an arsenal of 3 clubs, players will have a Driver for long range shots, a Wedge for shooting over obstacles and of course a Putter for putting the ball in the hole.
Players will also be able to use the Ball Buster, a wheel of misfortune that allows them to randomly select a player (including themselves) and add a status affect that can change the game such as; bouncier balls, reduced shot power, a sped up or hidden shot meter and new obstacles on the course. Truly screw over the competition for extra hilarity by playing cheap and dirty.
Of course, a Dead Rising game wouldn’t be complete without the ability to pulverize zombies in a unique fashion, and driving the ball through the undead hordes will give players Zenny, the Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf currency. This earned currency can be used to buy awesome character customization options that will let players outfit their character with a variety of new skills and looks including:
• 8 unique club sets; higher level clubs have longer range and larger sweet spots to get you closer and more accurately to the hole
• A variety of golf balls that can have explosive effects when you get the perfect shot
• 20 Exo Suits to purchase, with a variety of different colors to fit your style
• Over 10 unique helmets to add flare to your character
Super Ultra Dead Rising 4 Mini Golf is included as part of the Dead Rising 4 Season Pass for $24.99 (USD) / €19.99 / £16.24, which is available for purchase in the Microsoft Store and on Steam. Players can also get the pack as a standalone purchase for $9.99 (USD) / €9.99 / £7.99, or get the game and Season Pass together in the Dead Rising 4 Digital Deluxe Edition which is $79.99 (USD) / €79.99 / £54.99.
From zombie infection to golf swing perfection, Dead Rising 4 is the ideal excuse to stay inside this summer. To keep up-to-date on everything [I]Dead Rising follow us on Twitter and LIKE our Facebook page.

Dead Rising 4 swarms to Steam on March 14th
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.

Dead Rising 2 and Off the Record Steamworks transition imminent
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.
