2K has revealed the system requirements for running BioShock: The Collection on PC, and also detailed the process by which players who already have the first games will take advantage of the new remastered versions. Here we leave all the details below.
UPGRADE
1. If you have BioShock and/or BioShock 2 on Steam, you will receive the new version on launch day.
2. If you have BioShock in Games for Windows Live, you must contact 2K support by email and send an image of the receipt or check your purchase in any way.
3. If you have BioShock 2 on Games for Windows Live, you have to insert the game key on Steam and add it to your library.
4. BioShock Infinite will not have a new PC version because, in the words of 2k, the original “already meets current-gen console standards and runs smoothly on high visual settings.”
