Key points
- With 60FPS, DLC can be enabled for free, and PhysX, the PC version can be the definitive version of the game.
- Default frame rate is capped at 31 FPS but can be changed to 60FPS; see High frame rate.
- American McGee's Alice does not come with the Steam version. The only way to currently obtain it is through a Madness Returns bundle called "Alice: Madness Returns - The Complete Collection" on non-Steam distribution sites, or unofficial means.
