Sunset Overdrive on PC is Practically a Sure Thing Now
Back in May, the Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC) of Korea rated a PC version of Sunset Overdrive. Now, the ESRB has rated it as well, fuelling even more fire to the rumours that the colourful open-world adventure game might be going multiplatform.
Sunset Overdrive was released exclusively on the Xbox One back in 2014 by Insomniac Games where it was received extremely well amongst fans and critics. Microsoft also published the game, which is more than likely the reason why it hasn’t jumped to other platforms yet. But a PC version does make sense. Microsoft launched Xbox Play Anywhere in 2016, two years after Sunset Overdrive, so it’s possible the company is looking to add the feature in now. Xbox Play Anywhere is when you buy an Xbox One game, and receive a second copy of the game for Windows 10. Save progress can transfer back and forth between both versions, as well as Achievements.
While nothing has been confirmed regarding a PC version, an ESRB rating is as close to confirmation as any. If you’re in need of a good laugh, you can read the full ESRB description below:
“This is a third-person shooter in which players assume the role of a young survivor battling through a mutant apocalypse. As players traverse the open-world of Sunset City, they use assault rifles and fantastical weapons (e.g., grenade launchers that shoot teddy-bear bombs, guns that shoot fireworks) to kill mutant creatures, robots, and occasional human enemies. Combat is highlighted by frequent explosions, screams of pain, and gunfire. Some explosives cause enemies to be dismembered, leaving limbs around the environment; one cutscene briefly depicts a character’s head cut off by a mutant. During the course of the game, characters and environmental elements reference sexual behavior or humor (e.g., “Oh, such a bold statement! It says, ‘I am a prostitute!’” and “How hard was it to make a porn flip book?” ); a radio ad contains a running joke about a sex burger (e.g., “It’s so good you won’t be able to contain your urges to rub it all over your Sex…Burger”). The dialogue contains a handful of drug references (e.g., “You guys have been eating weed” and “Oh, when I get back with your drugs, we’ll discuss my offense at your assumption that I would know where to find drugs”). The words “f**k” and “sh*t” also appear in dialogue.”
