Written By published January 28, 2016



It’s an exciting day today, and a day we’ve been working towards for quite a while now. After a successful release on Xbox One and Xbox 360 back in November 2015, the critically acclaimed Rise of the Tomb Raider is now available for Windows 10 in the Windows Store. You can watch the game trailer here.

Rise of the Tomb Raider on Windows 10 delivers the most gorgeous visuals ever in the Tomb Raider franchise, utilizing the latest graphics rendering techniques. Very high resolution textures, NVIDIA HBAO+ ambient occlusion, global illumination lighting, high levels of anisotropic filtering, and displacement mapped tessellation all come together to show the power of high end gaming enabled Windows 10 PCs at their best to make Lara Croft and the perilous environment she explores come to life like never before.

Being on Windows 10, we can fully leverage all of the Xbox Live features, including achievements, leaderboards, Xbox Live cloud-saves, and Game-DVR. The game also works fully with your Xbox One controller, in addition to the standard support for mouse and keyboard. And unique to Windows 10, the game Live Tile on your Start Menu will keep you informed of your progress in the game, and from there you can jump back in to continue the adventure.

As studio head of Nixxes Software BV, developing the PC version together with Crystal Dynamics, I’m proud to have been part of the ride to bring Rise of the Tomb Raider to Windows 10, and to be built using the Universal Windows Platform. The passion and support of everyone at Microsoft who worked alongside with us to make this happen has been truly spectacular. Now it is up to you, the player, to take control of Lara and experience her latest adventure. Enjoy!
