Originally released on PC, PS3, xbox 360 in 2013, BioShock Infinity was reset in 2016 along with its predecessor as part of BioShock: Collection, and landed on Switch in 2020. In recent months, the nearly 10-year-old game has been updated frequently on Steam, sparking multiple speculations among players about new content.
Reddit forum user "1000-7" noted that BioShock: Infinity received its 9th update this month, according to SteamDB data, which he believes is related to the game's next-generation patch. In fact, since September 21, 2021, the game has received an average of 9 updates per month (5 in September 2021), and this number has slowly increased since then, with 14 updates for Resident Evil Infinity alone in March 2022 alone.
While some of these updates are very small, others look very important, which is unusual for a game released nearly 10 years ago. It's worth noting that the same thing happened before the game logged into Switch.
In the comments section of the post this sparked various conjectures among players. Some players believe that this is to be compatible with Steam Deck, because Currently Resident Evil: Infinity is not fully compatible on Steam handhelds; others think that this is in preparation for a full remake that will replace Resident Evil: Infinity in the current store; in addition, some players say that this is actually 2K developing its own game launcher, so they found an old game to test.
We'll have to wait a while to see if these updates make sense. So far, there is no relevant news from 2K officials.
