Sleeping Dogs' PC version will come with a host of graphical enhancements and bonus content, Square-Enix has announced.
On the technical side, these features include high-resolution texture pack updates, increased depth of field so small objects can be rendered from further away, high quality shadow effects and support for Screen Space Ambient Occlusion.
