“Killer Instinct” developer Iron Galaxy has released the PC version of the game for Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) Windows 10 just as the firm promised in June last year .
The developer released the fighting game along with the third season of the Xbox One title. The two versions of the game feature similar fighting combos and the characters are also similar. Even the new entries are similar such as Arbiter from Halo. Additionally, Microsoft recently made it possible for gamers to crossmatch between PC and the Xbox One. However, the PC version can look even better if PC owners max out the settings of their gaming rigs. The game can even play on 4K if players have displays that can match 4K graphics cards.

Microsoft recently announced that Xbox One exclusive titles will also be available for PC gamers as part of the company’s attempt towards unifying the Windows 10 and Xbox One platforms.
“Killer Instinct” is the first multiplayer cross platform game to appear on Windows Store and Microsoft is expected to do the same with more titles released in the future. Some of the other highly anticipated titles from the company include Quantum Break, which will be launched in the coming week for both Windows 10 and Xbox One.
