Rise of the Tomb Raider will launch for PC on January 28, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics announced today. The action-adventure game debuted in November 2015 as a timed-exclusive for Xbox One and Xbox 360.

The PC edition of Rise of the Tomb Raider was developed by Crystal Dynamics and Nixxes Software. It will support 4K resolution to offer "stunning new detail." You can click through the images in the gallery above to get a closer look at the PC version and its graphics.

"PC players are a passionate, devoted audience and we know they'll embrace the version created for their systems," Crystal Dynamics co-studio head Ron Rosenberg said in a statement.

Rise of the Tomb Raider will be available through physical retailers and online marketplaces such as Steam, the Windows Store, and Square Enix's own store. The standard edition will go for $60, while a Digital Deluxe Edition--featuring the game and its DLC pass--will sell for $90.

A special Collector's Edition, which comes with the Digital Deluxe version and a 12-inch Lara Croft statue, replicas of Lara's journal and jade necklace, and a steel case, will sell for $150. It will be available at Square Enix's online store.

Square Enix also announced the minimum specs for the PC version of Rise of the Tomb Raider.

  • Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 or AMD equivalent
  • GPU: NVIDIA GTX 650 2 GB or AMD HD7770 2 GB

Some tasty 4k screens!
Very nice. I haven't yet beat the Xb1 version. I might just hold off to play it in 4k though. :hehe:

Regardless of the platform the game is a looker for sure and gameplay wise is better than the previous reboot.

Looking forward to the 4k ENB shots. :bang:
 
I'll wait for the definitive version on PS4. Glad PC fans get to play it soon though.

You don't have a gaming PC though.

Also, given your stance on the platform it is fairly obvious (and due to your current avatar selection) you were going to get it on the PS4 even if you had a 4k capable PC.

Why the subterfuge?

I have a gaming PC. It runs FFXI and FFXIV at max settings just fine. :D
 
Damnit, I just bought the game on Xbox One, although at a reduced price.

Oh well I will still get the definitive version, PC, mustard face.
 
cdkeys has the pc version for preorder for $31. I might do it. I have i3 cpu and 7870 GPU. So far all the games (ryse, mad max, far cry 4, battlefield 4) run smooth on it.
 
I'm glad MS added achievements to the PC version too.

You just went full peasant. Never go full peasant.

You could have at least waited to get it on the PS4, if you were going to go console.
