BIOSHOCK ON STEAM: If you already own BioShock, BioShock 2, or Minerva’s Den on Steam, the remastered version for the corresponding title will automatically show up in your Steam library as a separate game

So probably yes

For anyone that is interested in Skyrim Remastered, if you want to support Bethesda or even just get a cool thing, I would highly recommend getting the Elder Scrolls : Anthology. You get all games (excluding ESO), all DLC, and a map for every single game. You can pick it up for about $45.

You need all the dlc's too to the games to be able to get the remastered? I got the triple pack so i only own the base games.

They doesn't mention anything about this. For Skyrim, the Legendary edition or all the DLCs are needed though.

"the remastered version for the corresponding title" So this probably means that the upgrade is for each title separately :)

No, you'll get the remastered versions of Bioshock 1 and 2 but you likely won't get Minerva's Den.

question: if you have any unactivated extra key for those games, will it still be eligible for an upgrade if it will be activated on a steam account?

Purchase disabled rather than removed so the store page is still accessible.

my guess is yes, because for these remastered versions to appear automatically in your library they probably just update all the current steam packages containing these games to now also contain the new ones. So your key will still unlock the same, but now updated, package.

I trade a old DiRT 3 key and when the guy activated it he gots DiRT 3 and DiRT 3 Deluxe Edition. So, maybe.

Yes. Remasters have been added to packages for the original versions. Whether you redeem a key for he d version or the new version you get both.

Answer:

for physical version upgrades and more details about the upgrade program go to
http://steamcommunity.com/games/BioShockInfinite/announcements/detail/975416043399892657

So I'd say yes, since they allow actvation of old cd keys (Games for Windows Live keys) from the physical copies, there's no reason why they would not to do the same for old unactivated Steam keys.

All remastered and "definitive" editions should be free upgrades on pc (assuming you own all dlc). I'm looking at you dishonored, sleeping dogs, and dead island. It's pretty insulting that they expect people to pay for mild graphical improvements.

Wouldn't go so far as to say they should be free, redoing all the textures for a game, or remaking models, etc etc... Can be time consuming... However, I would say that owners of the original title should get it at a discounted price.

Comment has been collapsed.

Meh. It might be time consuming but it's essentially a patch. They just repackage it as a newe release to resale to console players since they have hardware generations. If new content is added I have no problem paying for it like the Hard Reset Redux.

A discount would be appropriate as well I suppose but I would never personally pay it.

Deus Ex: HR Director's Cut had an accumulated discount that counted 50% off for DX:HR and 25% for The Missing Link DLC. Very well done.

Dishonored? What the hell, dishonored didn't release any "definitive edition" update, they just renamed the GOTY package.

I just spent $7 on Bioshock +Bioshock 2 but unable to get Minerva's den as it cost a lot right now. It costs more than Bioshock 2 itself on resellers website, where as it costs $8 on steam as well. So skipping that for now.

I never understood that line at the end of the first Bioshock. What if you choose to obey?

If it's a choice that you would have made regardless, then it's a choice. If you're obeying an order that you wouldn't have ordinarily gone through with, then you obey. I suppose it could be rephrased as "A man makes his own choice, a slave lets someone else make the choice for them." but I guess that's not as poetic.

Will the original titles disappear from the steam store? I'm missing Minerva's Den and I wonder of I will get the remaster upgradeif I buy this after Sept. 15?

I'm wondering the same thing, since a lot of rereleases tend to supersede and replace the original version. I'm considering just buying the DLC now for collection purposes, since trying to buy it or trade for it in the future could be quite a bear.

From what it sounds like we'll keep the original copies as well, these will just be added to the library, and (most likely) the old store page listings will be removed and replaced with the remastered versions.

8 years ago

Comment has been collapsed.

Yeah, I see that but my question is rather will I be able to get the Minerva's Den DLC for the original version after the upgrade or do I have to buy it now because it will disappear and only the remaster version DLC will be for sale? And if I buy the DLC after the new version was launched (e.g. from 3rd party sites like g2a etc.) will this license also active the DLC for the remaster Bioshock 2 game retrospectively?

It would be bad if 2 was removed because Bioshock 2 REMASTERED doesn't have multiplayer.

According to the Bioshock 2 Remastered Store Page, it includes both Bioshock 2 and the remastered version, so it looks like multiplayer is preserved that way - everyone getting the remaster on Steam will have the original, too.

What happens if the remastered versions gets released, but I don't have Bioshock 2 + Minerva's Den? Do I have to buy the remastered versions of these said games separately (if there is an option to do so)?

Didn't even know we'd get the remasters free if we owned the originals. Always a plus, maybe I'll finally get around to playing the trilogy.

There are also on sale on humble store, picked up the first one just now for 4.49. Really hoping there's a better UI in the new on, it always annoyed me, have a physical copy somewhere, but sounds like a pain to verify those, for under 5 bucks I'll just get it lol

That was the opinion when this was first announced. The opinion seems to have changed.

When I last checked, you can't buy the dlc on Amazon, even when they had the games on sale. Is that a hint? I don't know.

it's out of stock

probably cheaper is finding cheap boxed copy of B2 /w GFWL key, it will give Minerva's Den free. (same for old batches of steam keys, but those might be hard to find)

Anyone remember when you could get the Steam version of Borderlands with just the retail DVD, required for a free Steam copy? Seems 2K now they want you to send proof of purchase, and i bet nobody keeps their receipt of this old game. They should had made another Granting Tool for Bioshock ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I did it ... they want a foto of DVD, of the cover and a piece of paper with e-mail and ticket id written on it ... that's all ... was easy, and I received my Bioshock 1 key within 24 hours. Bioshock 2 key worked out of the box

Their Steam announcement has a Timezone converter link provided under the "I own BioShock on PC. How do I get the remastered version?" section of the article, it's already setup for you.
