An early version of Dead Island has been released on Steam.
A pre-release developer's build was released to the online store in place of the final version and has made its way into the hands of early purchasers. This early build features lines of code referring to it as an "Xbox Live Submission Project Version" and includes at least forty known bugs.
According to Develop, developer Techland is working on a patch to correct the problem that will be available to customers later today.
Publisher Deep Silver issued the following statement: "We apologize for any issues you may have experienced while playing the game. The final patched version will be made available on Steam to North American players today." The company also added that it "deeply regrets that it was not possible to make the final patched version of Dead Island available to players at launch."
Dead Island was released in stores for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC today.
UPDATE: Deep Silver released a press release at 3 pm PT stating that the patched version of Dead Island is up and available on Steam. However, if you have a save from the wrong version, it might not work with the new game.
"Also note that this update may cause incompatibilities between the incorrect version of Dead Island that was released and the fixed version and cause a wipe on saved games," Deep Silver said in a release. "Deep Silver plans to announce a 'make up' to fans who were affected by the day 1 PC issues..."
