It appears that Microsoft is currently looking into bringing Killer Instict to the PC. Microsoft Studios’ creative director Adam Isgreen is gathering community feedback on whether Microsoft should release this fighting free-to-play game to our platform.
In addition, a poll has been added to the official KI forum. Do note that this poll closes on January 9th, 2015, so make sure to cast your vote if you are interested in a PC version of Killer Instict.
This is definitely a nice surprise from Microsoft. Moreover – and since SFV will offer it – we hope that Killer Instict will offer cross-platform functionalities between the PC and the Xbox One versions. This could be a huge feature, and one that would definitely keep the game’s fanbase intact.
Kudos to SRK for reporting it.

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

they can keep this F2P (pay to win) for themselves, we have DoA5 and SF5 and maybe Tekken
I have not heard how this game is pay to win. I thought you payed money for more characters, I could be wrong, if the characters are not balanced.
at first it was like that, but looks like they screwed it up in season 2
I prefer Mortal Kombat & Killer Instinct over Street Fighter & Tekken.
Also DC over Marvel. Coca Cola over Pepsi.
I’m with you on most of those things. Especially back in the day in the arcade I was always more drawn to the MK and KI machines than any other fighting game.
Sure, why not? I just hope it paves to way to “older” exclusives, like Halo 3/4, Gears 2/3 etc. And Steam support, please. 😉
I think we have to cling hope a little bit longer for those “older” exclusives, perhaps forever. The last time MS gave the PC some love they gave us the F2P version of PC classics-Age of Empires Online and Flight. Now, they are starting to give the PC some love again and they are giving us…another F2P.
Really, the only time we see MS actively involved in bringing a game to the PC is when they have an F2P to sell to us. We don’t see MS actively involved with non-F2P games like Alan Wake, State of Decay and the occasional indie titles. In between we get mobile ports like the Halo Spartan Assault.
Another reason not to own an Xbox one.
You are forgeting PC gamers game on MICROSOFT windows
That has nothing to do with owning an xbox…. Plus you are forgoting about linex and steam os.
Good. Not interested myself but it’s a good news .
Seriously atm Horizon 2 and Sunset Overdrive are what stands out on Xbox, If Microsoft really wants feed back on bringing games to pc I’d say Those are the 2, Okay I know Insomniac are the I.P holders but in a sense MS still holds the leash
i take Horizon 2
I love any Fighting games but F2P!!! kinda disapointed .
Killer Instinct ahh no not intrested, but there is this game on Xbox One you know HALO!!!! WHERE THE HELL IS THAT!!!???
I just know if this was still published by Nintendo there wouldn’t be a snowballs chance in hell it’d come to PC outside emulation. It’s welcome by me. On the other hand… this doesn’t have a single player mode not even a basic arcade ladder like the original game had does it? I’m less interested in a MP only fighting game even if most people just play it that way. Hell, SP is great even if for just training… and I quite enjoy the SP in MKKE.
Speaking of the original game though they couldshould also release Killer Instinct Classic (the port of the original game) on PC. That way an officially sanctioned version can be on Steam. Chances are if they release an Ultra Edition on PC they might. Hell, at this point it should be a Ultra C-c-c-c-combo Breaker Edition since there’s more than just Season 1 DLC at this point.
Huge fan of KI ever since the original arcade machines, So I would indeed want this for PC.
If this hits Steam I’ll definitely pick it up eventually.. probably once an anniversary pack or something with all the characters. I have played it a few times on my friends Xbox. A good one for the catalog IMO. Depends on how it’s sold though and if you need Windows 8. Now that I think about it… it’s Microsoft… so you’ll need Windows 8 or whatever new garbage they are pushing.
The fact MS has to ask us if we want it, says everything about MS.
Ill just play my MK9 which i have done for the last 3 years for now lol, thank you lol.
ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA ULTRA ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Glad it turned out to be true.
