BioShock: The Collection contains all three titles in the BioShock series: BioShock, BioShock 2, and BioShock Infinite.[1] The games are first-person shooters, with a focus on story and character customization.[2][3] Players wield guns and superpower-granting genetic modifications called Plasmids.[4][5] Also included in the collection are the games' single-player content originally released as exclusives or downloadable content packs, including BioShock 2: Minerva's Den and BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea. The multiplayer component of BioShock 2 is not included.[1] It includes the challenge game modes from all three releases, and the Museum of Orphaned Concepts, a feature from an earlier collection in which the player explores an in-game gallery of abandoned development concepts.[6]
BioShock and BioShock 2 were remastered for the collection, with higher-resolution textures and new effects. The collection adds a director's commentary called Imagining BioShock, featuring the series' creative director Ken Levine and lead artist Shawn Robertson. Players unlock episodes of the commentary by finding new collectible objects added to the remastered BioShock.[7][8] The remastered games run in 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second on Xbox One and Playstation 4.
