Sleeping Dogs from United Front Games and Square Enix is to be given an extra graphical lick of paint for its release on PC, Square Enix has announced.
The high-resolution texture pack updates the game to a new level, bringing improved detail and crisp clear rendering to everything from city skyscrapers to crumbling ancient temples.
