What is Dead Rising 3 Apocalypse Edition?

A third-person open-world action game set in the zombie-infested city of Los Perdidos. You explore, scavenge, combine found parts into weapons and vehicles, and fight hordes while seeking a way out before a military strike destroys the city. The campaign supports solo and co-op play, and this edition includes four add-on chapters with different protagonists.

For you if...

  • +you want chaotic, comedic zombie combat in an open city
  • +you enjoy crafting unusual weapons and vehicles
  • +you plan to play the campaign with a friend

Not for you if...

  • −you want a serious, grounded survival-horror tone
  • −you prefer tightly structured levels over open-world exploration
  • −you dislike gore and over-the-top violence

What players say

77% of 14,863 reviews are positive · 74% of 59 in the last 30 days

Players praise the chaotic zombie combat, combo weapons and vehicles, and co-op campaign. The most common complaints concern the PC port: players report a low frame-rate cap, broken aiming and crafting when it is bypassed, poor performance, freezes, and a DLC-related bug that can erase campaign progress.
