Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director’s Cut, which was originally a Wii U-exclusive, and has been announced to be coming to PC, Xbox 360, PS3 and Mac, and will release on 22 October 2013.
“Over the last 18 months, the team has been working very hard on the development of the Director’s Cut. With this edition, we gave the team the envious task of pushing the boundaries of innovation and creativity to explore something we believe will become a big part of the future of the franchise, the second screen experience,” said Eidos Montreal head of studio David Anfossi.
The Director’s Cut version includes the previously released DLC: Tong’s Rescue mission and Missing Link DLC, and is integrated “seamlessly” into the main narrative. Other new additions include overhauled boss battles, improved game balance, combat, and artificial intelligence, and updated graphics.
The touchscreen features seen in the Director’s Cut version developed for the Wii U version will translate to Microsoft’s SmartGlass app and the PlayStation Vita.

I agree, it would be great if they gave the update for free 😛
It’s a tough one; surely core game elements such as improved AI and balance must be patched in for free.
I could lean toward an argument that the improved boss battles are a type of new content, but if it simply replaces the existing battles with no option to choose between the two, then surely it’s more like a patch as well?
I don’t own any of the previous DLC, so I’m hoping they release a “Director’s Cut upgrade DLC” on Steam. That would see me playing through the game again.
