    BioShock 2

    Game » consists of 26 releases. Released Feb 09, 2010

    Ten years after the events of the first game, Subject Delta is awoken and must unravel the mystery behind the Big Sisters and his own past in the ruined underwater city of Rapture.

    So, since when does this game support Steam achievements?

    Is it in preparation for this? First game wasn't updated.

    And does it mean I don't have to slog through the labirynth known as GfW Marketplace and I can just wait until Minerva's Den DLC is released on Steam?

    Does anyone know anything?

    P.S. I clicked through some games in my library and discovered that Batman: Arkham Asylum also got Steam achievements.

    P.P.S. Store pages for mentioned games still say GfWL client is required.

    Let me get right on that, two shakes of a lamb's tail my guess.

    You can watch this while you wait

    That and the Batman games have been transitioning off of GFWL and onto Steam for a while now. The achievements are not actually active yet though, probably not until they shut it down completely. I wonder if any other games will get that treatment.

    I wonder if the achievements will unlock in game by "tracking" data in the savefile, or if we'll have to play the game again.

    I own Bioshock 2 on a disc, what does that mean for me I wonder? Can I buy Minerva's den after this? If i buy it before can i ever download it again after that?

    It would be nice with a standalone Minerva's den on Steam.

    Yep, I'm in the same situation =/

    Minerva's Den is completely standalone, right?

    With a bit of luck, GFWL will be dead soon.

    Maybe, hopefully, they'll let you re-redeem the code on Steam?

    As for MD, I don't think it's standalone. It will be released on Steam as DLC, though. There's already a "DLC" section on Bioshock 2's store page.
