BioShock Infinite On PC Has Quietly Received More Than A Dozen Updates This Month

BioShock Infinite recently celebrated its 9-year anniversary. First released on March 26, 2013, the game was launched on March 26th 2013. Now, many fans notice something unusual about the computer version: It has received quietly 13 updates. 

That’s quite a lot of updates, but it’s more than a dozen on top of multiple that have consistently gone live in BioShock Infinite since roughly September 2021, as reported by TheGamer. What’s odd is that 2K, the publisher behind BioShock Infinite, hasn’t really publicly acknowledged these updates. On top of that, there’s no confirmed reasoning behind them either as BioShock Infinite remains the same game it was before the updates started happening. 

According to TheGamer, it received seven updates in 2021 and now, in March alone, it’s had 13. Players have begun speculating about what these updates mean, and why they’re happening, and some have arrived at a possible remaster of BioShock Infinite, or a new-gen update (which could theoretically affect the PC version). Other players believe that 2K might be working on the backend to make BioShock Infinite available for Steam Deck. 

It seems more likely that 2K launch integration was done behind the scenes, according to LitheBeep, Reddit. Zorklis on Reddit, in response, said one of the updates features “2K Launcher Development Branch” in it, seemingly confirming that the updates have to do with this launcher and not anything more exciting like a remaster or new-gen update. Perhaps 2K will end the speculation by letting everyone know what’s going on with BioShock Infinite.
