'Bayonetta' Arrives on PC With 4K Support
Several years since its first launch, "Bayonetta" has finally been ported to PC with 4K resolution support.
"Bayonetta's" move to PC was announced as Sega opened the game's official page on Steam, telling PC players they will "experience the over-the-top stylish action in 60fps at unlocked HD resolutions." Since the title's release on PC last April 11, it has garnered a "very positive" overall review from the 1,642 people who purchased it on Steam.
Sega Europe's Senior Vice President of Commercial Publishing John Clark welcomed the recent PC port and said: "We are dedicated to bringing high-quality, best practice PC conversions of our back catalogue games to our fans, and Bayonetta was a great fit. 'Bayonetta' is one of the most often requested PC conversions of our games, so finally being able to launch it on Steam is fantastic."
