To ensure the best possible experience on the platform, we've teamed up once again with the pros at Nixxes, who previously worked on the PC version of Deus Ex: Human Revolution and last year's Tomb Raider.

The technical art director of the Thief reboot, Jean-Normand Bucci stated earlier that the reboot will look better on PC than PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. He stated that the PC version of the game will go further than the console versions, which are already said to deliver "much more" than what the console gamers are expecting from the game.
The 'Master Thief Edition' is available for pre-order on Steam and other digital download services. It is created especially for PC and it includes "bunch of digital bonuses- comic book, art book, soundtrack and a booster pack of items to speed up your progress in the game".
