A couple of weeks ago, we informed you about a possible release date for the PC version of Rise of the Tomb Raider. Amazon France had listed the game for release on January 29th. And while Amazon has changed the game’s release date, another online shop has hinted at a January 2016 release.
According to one of the biggest Taiwanese shops, Rise of the Tomb Raider is coming to the PC on January 26th. The game is available for pre-purchase and is currently priced at $40.
Since Square Enix has not confirmed anything yet, we’re marking this story as a rumour. We still find it hard to believe that the game will release so soon on the PC, however Square Enix may actually surprise us (especially after delaying Deus Ex: Mankind Divided; a game that was meant to come out in February 2016).
Stay tuned for more!

I think they are just waiting for the Holiday 2015 Xbox One exclusivity period to end before announcing the imminent release of Rise of the Tomb Raider (PC). It very well may come out in January/February 2016. If not then its definitely coming in March/April 2016 to compete with Uncharted 4 like it was originally going to do before Uncharted 4 got delayed to March 18th, 2016.
This only shows that CrapBox exclusivity plan didn’t worked well for the game. Devs need to turn down these shyt deals from console manufacturers if they want their game to do well.
That does line up with that Amazon France leak that happened a few days ago.
ok so..
30-40 fps on gtx 970 high settings.
where are you pulling these numbers from?
last one was very very well optimized, so this negativity is completely unjustified
Bhahahahahaha.
You need Titan/7970 for good fps.
well I run it with amd 270, all ultra (including hairs) but FXAA and it goes 60 most of the time with minimum to 45 on the beach
They also patched the game which I think improved performance.
you will see .
which means only a few can play it..lol
i already know its going to run poorly unless you have a high end card like a 970.i doubt a 960 could max it out at 60fps.
But most of us have a high end card and i have a 970 G1 GAMING. I am going to run it max settings 1440p DSR 60 FPS!!!
No one buy this game. Screw Crystal Dynamics for selling out to Xbox One and Phil Spencer. They don’t get my money for this game. Stop this exclusivity nonsense.
they cant get any of your money..lol pony
Grow up.
Grow up
You don’t speak for everyone.
I’m buying this game.
I just hope this is just not some cheesy straight up console to PC port. I would like to see at least the various options the PC version of 2013 reboot had and not just a “FXAA” on or off option for example…
Hopefully we just don’t get a Xbox1 looking game with just higher Resolution/FPS.
Square is not suicidal, they wont release a worse port of what they already did.
Even their FF PC ports get gradually better with each release, FF13-3 is better then 13-2 and the one before that 13.
Im sure that TR will be a great port, especially because X1/PS4 are basically PCs unlike the last tomb raider that was ported from PS3 and 360 and was great.
There have come quite a bit of more then decent ports to PC from them. Or Nixxes who they mostly hire. I’m a bit more worried about Rise however, as I haven’t seen Nixxes being involved in the PC version, yet.
TBF Nixxes did do the 360 port (which was good overall) – so we can expect their work for the 360 version will form the base for the game on low settings at least.
Don’t Worry , Square Enix Europe isn’t the same as Square Enix Japan
That’s a wonderful point.. Shame they don’t port over the FF games on PC. XD
Wow 2016 starts veryt good for pc! If tomb railder also comes then we are getting 5 new games in Januryary!
Dragon Dogma
Assasin creed india
Bombshell
Resident evil 0 remaster
and if we get tomb raider too then it will be 5! Now let seee how we will finsih them all until February!!
Resident Evil 0 is already out on Steam
Bombshell and Ass Creed India are indie type cheapo games, Dragon Dogma is a PS3 port, its interesting game but based on trailers we can say that they kept the PS3 textures and models, it looks like PS3 game in higher resolution.
Assasin cred are AAA ganes not indie. Havent you played them? Dragon Dogma was one of the best action rpg of 2012 and millions of us pc gamers were asking on capcom forum and twitter for a pc version. It is like westerrn action rpg like Wircher e.t.c that pc gamers like a lot.
Resident Evil 0 is only available for pre-order on Steam (which are likely the ads you’ve been seeing). The game isn’t out.
You totally right, I noticed ‘Add to cart’ and missed the January 16 part above đ
they are waiting for Holiday sales to be over and this is the second rumor about a January release so chances of it being true is even higher. it didn’t sell well enough. the fact that Spencer had to specifically say “he is happy with Tomb Raider’s sale numbers” means there is something wrong and they felt the need to make a positive statement about it because Spencer normally shouldn’t be the one worried about Tomb Raider sales when there is Halo 5 to talk about.
will pick it up when it’s 5$ and doesn’t have crappy drm.
If Rise of the Tomb Raider was coming out next month, it would have been announced already. I also seriously doubt that the contract with MS would allow a PC port to be released so soon after the Xbox version. I think March or April 2016 is much more probable.
If a man will not get upset by the rampant misandry and male massmurder in this and the previous game, he will never be upset about anything. Game deserves to be BANNED and nothing else, lets pray it never releases on PC EVER. NO joke, 100% TRUTH.
