In a recent announcement, the publisher behind beloved franchises such as BioShock, Civilization, and Mafia has unveiled an exciting development for gamers. The company confirmed that titles including BioShock Remastered, BioShock 2 Remastered, BioShock Infinite, The Quarry, and Marvel’s Midnight Suns will be launched directly into the gaming experience, eliminating the need for a separate launcher.
Streamlined Gaming Experience
This move is part of a broader effort to enhance user experience by simplifying access to these popular titles. For players of the Mafia Trilogy Definitive Edition, Civilization VI, Civilization V, XCOM 2, and XCOM: Chimera Squad, the publisher has introduced various algorithms to facilitate the removal of the launcher. Details on these algorithms were shared alongside the announcement, providing players with clear guidance on how to optimize their gaming setup.
In addition to these updates, 2K has proactively addressed potential concerns players may encounter, particularly regarding instances where the launcher might still appear when launching games through Steam. This transparency aims to foster a smoother gaming experience and reassure players that support is readily available.
For those eager to stay connected with the latest developments, the publisher encourages joining their 80 Level Talent platform and participating in their newly launched Discord server. Additionally, they invite fans to follow their social media channels on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Telegram, TikTok, and Threads, where they share insightful breakdowns, news updates, and impressive artworks from the gaming community.
