Injustice 2 Finally Planned for a PC Release, Complete with Open Beta
When Injustice 2 released earlier this year, gamers noticed it was missing something very important: a PC version. Well, Warner Bros. and NetherRealm Studios are rectifying this problem with a PC release of the game.
According to a press release (which for some reason I can’t find, so all information is coming from second hand, albeit reliable, sources), Injustice 2 will receive a PC version at a later, unspecified date. However, gamers can download a demo version of the game starting tomorrow, October 25th, and participate in an open beta. This demo version will only be available on Steam, and the Injustice 2 page hasn’t even been posted as of writing this article, so I cannot comment on the beta’s system requirements.
Aside from the existence of the beta, the only thing we know about the PC version of the game is it’s being developed by QLOC, the studio behind the PC port of Mortal Kombat X. Many PC gamers might recall that the PC version of that game was less than ideal, if not downright horrible — not Batman: Arkham Knight bad, but still a slap in the face of PC gamers. Well, QLOC was the studio that fixed the PC port of Mortal Kombat X. It also worked on DMC: Devil May Cry, Street Fighter IV, and Resident Evil 4 Ultimate HD Edition, so Injustice 2 is in seemingly good hands.
Injustice 2 isn’t the first time a NetherRealm Studios game was released on console before PC. The previous game, Injustice: Gods Among Us, was also released for consoles long before it found its way to the PC as Injustice: Gods Among Us Ultimate Edition, which contained all available DLC. While I might be counting my chickens before they hatch, I would not be surprised if the PC version of Injustice 2 comes with all DLC, but that would mean the port probably won’t come out until after the console versions receive the last DLC characters. We will just have to watch and see.
The devilish launch of Diablo 4 is days away (less for Ultimate Edition buyers). Blizzard has promised the ultimate reward for the first 1000 players to accomplish level 100 on Hardcore Mode: a statue of in-game antagonist Lillith.
Think you can cheat death?

Diablo 4’s Hardcore Mode is a character-creation-only difficulty adjuster. It automatically deletes characters when they die, making things infinitely harder regardless of World Tier. But 100? That’s several playthroughs on increasingly difficult World Tiers with new adversaries in harsher setups and about 150 hours of flawlessly rapid gameplay.
Honoring the dying.
Being remembered with those brave souls lost on the journey is the ultimate gamer boast. Do you dare?
Bloober Team’s survival horror game Layers of Fear is terrifying. The Trophy List on Exophase just appeared, and players will have to go crazy to obtain Platinum.
With a Silver Trophy like “a new way” requiring players to “live through the third conversation” (and a few of Bronzes for surviving the previous two) and another called “face your fears” appearing when you “see your enemy and fail”, we might chase this one with the lights on.
Do you like Layers of Fear’s whole trophy list? Do you want the Plat?
The PlayStation Showcase, which divided fans and prompted our full-throated Reaction, was a ratings winner. Gamesight’s number crunchers found that PlayStation fans were drawn in by the appeal alone, even though many of the titles we wanted to see didn’t show up.
