BioShock: The Collection Available Now on PS4 and Xbox One

2K announced today that BioShock: The Collection is available now in Asia (excluding Japan) for the PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system, and Xbox One, containing all three installments of the award-winning BioShock franchise fully remastered for modern consoles.

Originally developed by Irrational Games and 2K Marin, and revitalized in full 1080p HD and up to 60 frames-per-second by Blind Squirrel Games, BioShock: The Collection brings all three games and all single-player add-on content from one of the highest-rated franchises of the last console generation to new audiences at US$59.99.

“We’re immensely proud of the BioShock series, and we’ve taken great care in bringing these beloved games to the current generation of consoles,” said Christoph Hartmann, President of 2K. “Whether you’ve experienced these critically acclaimed classics before or are new to the series, there’s never been a better time to play and immerse yourself in the rich worlds of Rapture and Columbia.”
