Rise of the Tomb Raider Coming to PC in January

 

According to Steam, Rise of the Tomb Raider will be available on the PC sometime in January.

Although this isn't an official release date, it does correspond with previous reports. Back in July, Square-Enix announced that the game would be released on PC in early 2016. Two weeks ago, a listing on Amazon France had the game set for release on January 29, 2016. The Baba Yaga DLC is also set to come out in January, which would coincide perfectly with a PC release date for that month.

Given all of this information, it's safe to assume the game will indeed be released on PC in January, though we don't have an exact day for its release yet.

Rise of the Tomb Raider was announced during Microsoft's Gamescom briefing in 2014 as a "2015 holiday exclusive" for the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, though some were confused as to whether or not the game would be coming to other platforms. Shortly afterwards, Microsoft head Phil Spencer clarified that the game was in fact a timed exclusive, which meant that it would eventually be released on other platforms in the future.

In addition to revealing the PC launch window, Square-Enix also announced that the game would come to Sony's PlayStation 4 console sometime during the 2016 holiday season.
