Rise Of The Tomb Raider Launches On PC Next Year
Square Enix announced today that the sequel to Lara Croft's critically acclaimed reboot, Rise of the Tomb Raider, will be available on PCs next year.
Microsoft, publisher Square Enix, and developer Crystal Dynamics arranged a year of exclusivity for the game when it arrives on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One November 10. That means the PlayStation 4 version won't be available to Sony fans until holiday of next year. However, PC users are a bit luckier considering it hits Steam and Windows 10 in early 2016.

Our Take
The video game industry is a business, and sometimes third-party console exclusives are a reality us fans have to face. I'm happy to hear that PS4-owning Tomb Raider fans with beefy enough PCs will be able to play the game sooner rather than later thanks to this announcement.
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.
