BioShock: The Collection is out now on console in the United States, with all other versions set for release tomorrow (15 September).
Popular gaming sites like IGN gave “BioShock” a very high rating of 9.7 out 10 along with the second being 9.1, and “Infinite” being 9.5. For consoles, the version was released on September 13, but PC owners have to wait until the 15th, much to their disappointment. Better still, they’ll be added separately, meaning you can still choose to play the originals if you prefer, you old purist you.

That key is your gateway to unlocking the remastered version on Steam by following these instructions.
