It has been confirmed that the PC version of Resident Evil 6 will be available as a digital download in North America from Friday March 22, 2013, with European PC gamers (and presumably SA PC gamers) able to purchase both the digital version and a disc based version from the same date.
Both the digital and retail versions of Resident Evil 6 PC will contain all the content found in the original console release plus receive any additions contained in any free title updates, such as Ada Wong’s campaign being accessible from the outset, and the challenging “No Hope” difficulty mode.
The digital version will make use of Steam functionality by supporting the following features:
- Cloud saving
- Steam Achievements
- Friends support
- Game overlay
- Leader boards
It is not clear at this point whether Steam will be the only DRM used for the game, or if PC gamers will once again have to navigate the Capcom gaming hell of Games for Windows Live DRM.
