Bioshock: The Collection Blocks Streaming on Consoles

The collection will include “BioShock”, “BioShock 2” and “BioShock Infinite”.

It is definitely an odd omission, considering PlayStation 4 and Xbox One streaming is nearly native to consoles. It combines BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite in one package complete with all the single-player DLC.

In a nice move, those who own the PC versions of BioShock and BioShock 2 (but unfortunately not Infinite) will be able to upgrade those titles free and benefit from all the remastered elements. The console version is the PC version we’ve been enjoying on Steam for years.

A making-of documentary with creative director Ken Levine and lead artist Shawn Robertson is also included in the collection, unlocked one episode at a time through finding “golden reels” hidden in the original game. Better yet, as Kotaku explains, it will appear alongside the originals, so you can play either version depending on your preference. Did it bring back fond memories or excite you enough to purchase a copy? Then contact 2K Support by submitting a ticket and the wheels will be set in motion to get the updated version appearing in your Steam account. Of course, since PC fans still have to wait until this Thursday, September 15, for the anthology to release on Steam, the trailer should serve as an appetizer of sorts, and allow players on the platform to make sure the game’s PC specs jive with their gaming rigs. From there, it quickly gears up to show off the improved framerates and effects as the characters of all three games take turns in punching, shooting, and blasting their way through a horde of enemies.
