So the BioShock Collection has been announced. (so what?)
Well, it is released in September (13th) and if you own BioShock 1 and 2, you get the remaster upgrade free.
The good news? They're currently on sale in the Steam Summer Sale at £2.79 each.
It's worth noting that BioShock Infinite is not getting a remaster because it "already meets current-gen console standards and runs smoothly on high visual settings."

I own Bioshock Infinite and it is offering me 1 + 2 for a price of £3.80 which seems an even better deal to me, so thanks OP.

i wonder if this has something to do with why we have not seen these games get BC which was announced months ago for the xbox one
wonder if we will see some sort of reduction for those who own these digitally on the ps3 or 360

Nice one, I have been wanting to replay these but couldn't make my mind up between PS3 or PC. This has made my mind up for me.

Yea I got Bioshock 2 for £1.90 because I own the other 2.
Worth checking the triple pack for any discounts.

Does anyone know if you get Minerva's Den for free by just owning Bioshock 2 with the remaster? I assume it's just a menu option to launch from for 2, and that's what the article implies, but I'm starting to doubt myself after some people have been saying otherwise on Reddit, and I don't want to waste £2 buying the DLC if they'll give it to me anyway in September.

I've also been reading about it on Steam regarding that. There does seem to be some confusion regarding it, and 2K wasn't very clear with it.

Belting excuse to replay these games..Probably my most favourite iconic game.

Already have them, but good to know I'll be getting the remastered versions for free! Great games...

So I need to own all three to get the remastered original? Not that keen on buying the second game.

The 2nd one is better than the 3rd in my humble opinion.

In what way will it be remastered on PC?
And what's with all the rehashes and remasters on these consoles? I've owned a PS4 for a couple of years now and I've played about three games on it.

will be good to play bioshock 1 on newer operating systems that doesnt mean you have to do tweaking to get the sound working

I'm holidaying in France this second so Steam wants me to pay over €10 AND I can't get it to accept my payment, even after logging in to Poopal, awesome! "Your transaction is almost complete!
Click here if nothing happens"...and nothing happens at all ffs :disappointed:

I've both 1 and 2; still not got around to finishing 2 - so welcome a better version of 2 for free :smiley:

Really!
I loved the first one but played about an hour of the second one and took it back to the shop as it was sooooooooo bad , I at least made it all the way through the 3rd one

i have both 1 and Infinite but Bioshock 2 is showing as 2.79?
Rhythmeister
30 Jun 16#25
Infinite didn't really do it for me :disappointed: Maybe I need to revisit it with one of this year's graphics cards AFTER finishing Doom with maximum eye candy, eh?

Hell yeah :smile: I got Far Cry 3, Bioshock Infinite AND that Womb Raider game for free :sunglasses:

Mind if I ask why you moved to console? Most people I know who moved to PC have happily stayed there and only revisit consoles for the odd exclusives.

Bought these purely to buy once the remaster is out (never played them before)! Don't mind getting 3 games for 7 quid either.

£3.80 for BioShock + BioShock 2 is a bargin if you ask me!

Do you get the currently paid DLC (Minerva's Den) for free in September?
Honestly the first two games are infinitely better then the last one :stuck_out_tongue:
Upgradeable weapons, better and more upgradable plasmids, gene tonics, alternative ammo, environmental interaction, real decisions which affect gameplay and ending, alternative styles of play like stealth, creating traps and turning enemies (inc machines) into allies, I could go on and on.
I highly recommend anyone who hasn't played them to give them a try and if Infinite is the only Bioshock game you've played they you in for one heck of a eye opening.

if you put the key in from the GFWL of Bioshock 2 you get Bioshock 2 and Bioshock Mirvenas Den DLC i believe...
i would imagine GFWL bioshock 1 gives you Bioshock 1 on steam also.
i just want to know if i need to buy Mirvirnas Den to get the upgraded version (a bit like dead island/riptide upgrade where you didnt need tohe dlc) or is it going to work like SKYRIM upgrade where you need to have all the dlc also..
didnt wanna waste £1.99 if its going to give it to me anyways..
but if not then i may aswell get it for the full enhanced experience for the full game+DLC, the statement doesnt make it clear (in terms of the Mirvirnas Den) hence a lot of confusion.

Hopefully this means that Linux/SteamOS versions of the first two games are coming as well? I mean, they may as well. :smile:

Awesome didn't know we would be receiving a free upgrade in September, great news!
Picked this up last year on Steam for similar pricing, great games!

I believe I tried the code previously on Steam and it didn't work :disappointed: so I might be out of luck with that one. Still I have the old CD if I ever want to re-play it in its original state.

"The Collection free. If you already own BioShock, BioShock 2, and/or the Minerva's Den BioShock 2 DLC on Steam"
Sounds like you need Minervas Den DLC to to be eligible?

I think it's down to when the Bioshock 2 was released it was GFWL and when they switched to Steam they included the DLC free for existing keys with new keys being just Bioshock 2.
Sounds like they was going to put "Bioshock 2 or Bioshock 2 and Minerva's Den BioShock 2 DLC" then someone thought they would shorten, but failed to understand you the DLC wasn't standalone.
