So you’re waiting for the upcoming BioShock patch, right? For us PC BioShock owners, this will mark the first official patch for the game while it’ll be the third patch for Xbox 360 gamers.
But if you’re wondering what will be included within the patch, don’t worry because The Cult of Rapture has since been updated with the full patch details. For one thing, you don’t have to wait too much longer because the patch will go live tonight at midnight PST.
Juicy PC patch details include additional plasmids and gene tonics, widescreen fixes, a fix for rebinding keys, the ability to turn off Vita-Chambers and a fix for the awkward pause before accessing the interface and hacking minigame. One of the big fixes I’ve been waiting for are to the game’s subtitles and it looks like the patch will fix them, woo hoo!
