BioShock Priced For iOS, Launching Tonight
BioShock's port to iOS was announced earlier this month, and now we know when we will be able to play it.
The game will be $14.99 and should be showing up in iTunes tonight. The iOS version of the game will offer controller support, but you will also be able to play the game using the touchscreen. If your iPhone is earlier than a 5 or if your iPad is earlier than a 4, the game will not be compatible, unfortunately.

Our Take
Shooters typically don't translate well to touch screens, but I like the idea of a mobile version of BioShock. I wouldn't mind seeing a similar port to Vita, or even 3DS if 2K thought it could be done well.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
