Dead Island 2 Out Now on Steam With a 50% Launch Discount

Dead Island 2 was originally released on PC via the Epic Games Store last year, and as usual, a lot of people simply ended up waiting for the Steam release. For those who waited, the Steam version is now available and comes with a 50% discount. The discount is available for all three editions, and there are new awards to redeem on PRO.

Is Dead Island 2 Steam Deck Compatible?

In addition to the Steam release, Steam Deck owners will be glad to know that Dead Island 2 is fully compatible with the handheld.

I played a good chunk of the game last year and thought the gore system was insanely detailed. The combat is crunchy, and the general structure was a step up from the original The game also looks incredible for the most part making great use of Unreal Engine, and didn’t have any stuttering either. Here’s a screenshot I took last year.

I’m glad that Steam users can finally enjoy Dead Island 2, but these exclusivity deals definitely hurt a lot of PC titles in the long run because of a lack of marketing, and general hype.
