The only problem is that it's not actually available on the PC yet. To be honest, I'm not sure if a release date for the PC version had ever been announced (it was available for consoles at launch) but there was obviously an expectation somewhere, because Activision said in yesterday's update patch notes that it's been delayed.

Only in Sleep Tight, the monsters are very real.

In January, Portal designer Kim Swift joined EA Motive—the Jade Raymond-headed Electronic Arts studio founded in 2015. The developer is thought to be working on a untitled Star Wars game (...) and another as-yet unannounced project.
