Key points
- The Steam-version generally delivers improved compatibility, stability and performance compared to the Microsoft Store version, see Version differences.
- The PC version only allows streaming the live action episodes. They cannot be downloaded (as on Xbox One), thus it is not possible to view them offline or with a slow internet connection.[3]

Version differences
- The Steam version is Direct3D 11-only, while the Microsoft Store version is Direct3D 12-only. The Steam version is compatible with Windows 7 and newer, while the Microsoft Store version requires Windows 10 or newer.
- Performance of the Steam-version has been improved on Nvidia-hardware and stayed the same on AMD-hardware compared to the Microsoft Store version. The Steam-version does not suffer from graphics-driver crashes on Nvidia-hardware, whereas the Microsoft Store version did.[4] It is unknown if these graphics-driver crashes have since been fixed for the Microsoft Store version.
- Steam-version is more up-to-date compared to the Microsoft Store version, as Remedy announced in August 2016 that they wouldn't release any more updates for the Microsoft Store version, while the last update for the Steam version got released in October 2016.[5][6]

Issues fixed
Live action show plays too fast
- On Windows 11 the game suffers from a bug that causes the live action show to play unrestricted, causing sped up video and garbage audio.[18]
| Update Windows 11 to build 22621.1194 (KB5022360) or later[19] |
|---|
Jack wearing an eyepatch
- Playing the Microsoft Store version while signed out of the Store app triggers this issue.
| Open the Store app and sign into the Microsoft account that owns the game before playing[20] |
|---|
Nvidia SLI support (Steam version)
- SLI support can be set manually for the Steam version (up to 95% scaling).[21]
| Use Nvidia Inspector[21][22] |
|---|
|
CPU doesn't support POPCNT instruction
- If your CPU doesn't support the POPCNT instruction, then your CPU is below the system requirements of this game. Still, with the below workaround, you might be able to run the game. Still, expect the game to run poorly on your PC.
- Although the developers state that POPCNT instruction is required[23] to run the game, in reality this is not true, at least for the Steam release.
- For Windows Store version see this workaround
| Remove POPCNT check in rl_x64_f.dll[24] |
