The game will be available to the public on January 28, but you can already start your preload (it's about 18GB). The standard version of Rise of the Tomb Raider PC is priced at $/€ 49.99, while the Season Pass costs $/€ 27.99.
The PC port has been made by Nixxes, which also took great care of the Xbox 360 version of the game. Graphics enhancements include HBAO+, increased hardware tessellation, increased draw distance and general detail.
In a live stream hosted by Square Enix, more graphics options were showcased while support for SLI was confirmed.
It appears like there is a Very High preset. NVIDIA recommended a GTX 970 for gameplay at 1080P@60 and a GTX 980Ti for gameplay at 1440P@60, but that was for High settings.
We'll have our own impressions of the PC version, but if you have any doubt about the game itself just read our review of the Xbox One version to ease your mind. You can find the official system requirements below; PS4 gamers will have to wait for Holiday 2016 to play Lara's latest adventure.
