Dead Island PC Version Is Actually a 360 Dev Build!! Real Version Being Released Later Today!!

UPDATE:  Deep Silver has released the proper version and issued a statement.

Various reports have claimed that the PC version of Dead Island that was released today through Steam was actually a developer build of the Xbox 360 version that was released via Steam by accident.

Apparently, various code contained from the game states it’s an “Xbox Live Submission Project Version”. Such as this:
