Valve and Activision have announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops is now available for pre-purchase via Steam.
Those who pre-purchase Call of Duty: Black Ops on Steam can pre-download the game files and therefore begin playing immediately upon the game’s release on 9 November 2010. The game is priced at US$59.99 (±R413).
This means that the title will be fully Steamworks integrated, affording features such as auto-updating, achievements, and more via the Steam Cloud. The PC version of the product will use Steamworks for both the digital and physical versions of the game and offline play will also be supported.
“We are delighted to be delivering the year’s most anticipated title with Black Ops to PC gamers around the world,” said Jason Holtman, director of business development at Valve. “We’ve collaborated with the development team to leverage the Steamworks suite of services to deliver the highest level of service to Call of Duty: Black Ops PC customers.”
“Steam has been a great partner throughout development of Black Ops,” said Mark Lamia, president of Treyarch. “We’re working closely together to take full advantage of Steamworks to ensure we deliver the most polished and secure PC experience that our community deserves.”
Call of Duty: Black Ops is scheduled for worldwide release during the week of November 9.
