About Sleeping Dogs™: Definitive Edition

Sleeping Dogs™: Definitive Edition poster

Sleeping Dogs: Definitive Edition is a reworked, rebuilt, and remastered version of the critically acclaimed, award-winning open-world action adventure. All 24 previously available DLC extensions are integrated into the game, including the story-extending episode Year of the Snake and the horror-themed Nightmare in North Point. Alongside those additions, a wealth of new technological, audio, and visual improvements make Hong Kong feel more alive than ever.

The city itself is a vibrant, neon metropolis teeming with life, where exotic locations and busy streets and markets conceal one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal organizations in the world: the notorious Triads. You play as Wei Shen, a highly skilled undercover cop working to dismantle the Triads from the inside out. Proving yourself means fighting your way up the organization and taking part in brutal criminal activities, all without blowing your cover.

Combat blends an unmatched martial arts system for brutal hand-to-hand fighting with thrilling illegal street races and explosive firearms action, turning Hong Kong's buzzing streets into the ultimate playground. As an action-adventure title on PC, Sleeping Dogs immerses you in the tension of undercover life, where, as the game reminds you, the rules are different when you are working both sides of the law.
