Normally there’s a much longer wait for games released as part of the Xbox 360’s Summer of Arcade promotion to make their way to PC, but that’s not the case with Bastion. Like From Dust, which is coming to Steam on August 17, Bastion will be available on Valve’s digital distribution service in just over a week, on August 16.
It was very well received on Xbox Live Arcade, and today’s press release on the PC version notes it will sport high-resolution graphics and a new control scheme for PC (with support for gamepads and remappable controls). It’ll carry the same $14.99 price tag on Steam that it did on XBLA, and is headed to other, non-Steam digital distribution services later in August.
Bastion thankfully ships with no DRM but does support Steamworks features like cloud saves, Achievements, and leaderboards, which will only be available in the Steam version.
