BioShock: The Collection – Official PC Requirements

BioShock is one of the most iconic games of modern generations, offering up impressive graphics, unique gameplay, and a gripping story. Now the game is making somewhat of a comeback with BioShock: The Collection, a tweaked and improved re-release of the original games that are sure to look better than ever.

What’s really cool is that while this new bundle is ideal for those who have yet to play the series, those who already own it will get updated to the new versions free of charge!

“If you already own BioShock, BioShock 2, or Minerva’s Den on Steam, the remastered version for the corresponding title will automatically show up in your Steam library as a separate game. You can expect to see the remastered titles begin rolling out in Steam libraries starting at 3pm PT on September 15th.” said 2K games.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games.
