Microsoft is really ramping up their Xbox One and Windows 10 collaboration for games. With Forza 6 Apex and Gears of War Ultimate already set to arrive soon or already arrived, Killer Instinct will be following along shortly on March 29th. The game will be available from the Windows store and what’s more, all DLC from the Xbox One will be available for the Windows version after a pretty quick update process.
As UWA (Universal Windows Application) based on the UWP (Universal Windows Platform), Killer Instinct comes with all the pros and con, namely it may not feature the full set of usual PC tweaks and features. That, however, is expected of most console ports these days anyways so it really isn’t that much of an issue. The system requirements are pretty tame as well, with only an i5 750/Phenom II x4 965, 4GB of ram and GTX480/HD 5850 being the minimum. The recommended isn’t that much beefier at i5 4670K/FX 4300, 8GB ram and GTX670/HD 7950. Of course, Windows 10 is required. You can see the full spec list below.
