Hard to believe Deus Ex: Human Revolution isn't releasing until late August. The PC version, as was revealed today by Square-Enix, is set to use Steamworks. It's the obvious choice, for sure, but not necessarily a guaranteed one. As per usual, automatic updates, cloud saving, and achievements are supported.
It was also recently disclosed that the PC version will do DirectX 11, AMD Eyefinity (up to five monitors), and 3D, should you have the necessary equipment to make use of any of these fancy technologies. PC Gamer has the scoop.
At the time of writing, Human Revolution isn't up for pre-order; it ought to be, by the time you see this. Pre-launch pricing is $44.99 for the standard edition, and $53.99 for the Augmented edition. The latter includes a digital art book, making-of special, various videos, a motion graphic novel, the soundtrack, and a copy of Deus Ex: Game of the Year Edition.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

This is perfect news, considering I've ordered the Aug edition. Everything's still nice and in one place and autoupdated. I approve of this news.
Well, I would definitely have 5 monitors, if I had the money.
I'm not pre-ordering.
If this continues, I could pick up the Augmented Edition later on down the line.
The Witcher 2 and this FTW :P
