Supergiant Games is wasting no time in bringing Bastion to the PC, with the awfully rad action game leaving the confines of the Xbox 360 on August 16. You can already pre-order the game on Steam!

It will eventually appear on other digital platforms, but Bastion's coming to Steam first.

Just like Xbox Live Arcade, playing Bastion will cost you $14.99, and the Steam version also comes with Steamworks support for cloud saves, achievements and leaderboards. Oh, and it's DRM free!

If that's not enough, the game's wonderful soundtrack has gone online via Bandcamp. The digital version is available for $9.99, but starting in September, you can buy the album on a real-life disc!

Cool, I'll probably pick this up now.

Preordered

edit: decided to go for the soundtrack too.

It's not DRM-free, though. Steam is a form of DRM unto itself.

Oh, i read the title wrong... i thought it said if you pre-order you can nab the Soundtrack....  for free.  

"Oh, and it's DRM free!"
 
What? As much as I love Steam, you can't really call it anything other than a type of DRM.

@phthalates: So is Xbox Live. Lets just say the game is free of 3rd party DRM, because I think we can all consider Steam one of the utmost secure first parties when it comes to delivering premium digital content.

Cool this might be the first video game soundtrack I'll buy.

All this time I thought this game wont hit steam til this autumn and it comes out 2 weeks after the XBLA release, Sweet!

bastion is on my library of steam games just waiting 1 week 3 days and 18 hours and the soundtrack is downloading right now

Real-life discs suck.

Even though I already bought and beat it twice on the Xbox, I kind of want to get it on PC.

@patrickklepek: You should edit the article to say that the physical copies of the soundtrack get shipped in September. You can actually purchase the CD now (I did earlier today).

Bought it hours ago. So damn awesome.

I got the soundtrack CD. It means I no longer have to leave my 360 running just so I can hear the tunes.

I'm going to whine a little. Bastion is one of few games I might actually pre-order but there are no pre-order bonuses. Not even the 10% discount. 
 
I'll pick this up and the end of the month or next month, only because there is no incentive for me to pre-order and I don't have any time to play it this month. So in the end it might actually be a good thing (for me) that it doesn't have any pre-order bonus because I have little self control when it comes to really good games.

Real-life discs suck.

Bought the shatter soundtrack. Now time to buy me my 2'nd soundtrack

DRM free + Steam...does not compute! Anywho when it comes to D2D I will buy it. I hate being forced to have a 3rd party program running in order to play my games.

"Oh, and it's DRM free!"
 
Such a funny claim. Come on, Steam is DRM, even if it isn't very effective.

Should be worth noting that if you buy the real disc you can select to have it autographed by Darren as well has have immedate access to the digital version of it. Honestly I wish more companies did it like this, hell I'd buy more soundtracks if that's the case.

When I was reading about this on another site when I got up this morning I couldn't believe how soon it was coming out. Something about the way they talked during the videos made me think it wouldn't be out until next year at the earliest.

Done.

Pre-ordered.

sweetness, physical CD plus a digital download? im on board

Oh shit, too many people know about the CD now! I gotta buy one before they run out!

Freaking amazing, pleasant surprise that this is coming to PC so soon. Already preordered my copy

preorder!

I just got a free copy of the Soundtrack from SuperGiant Games on Twitter (retweet contest).   It sounds pretty awesome :)

I was literally googling around for this soundtrack yesterday, and today it's a reality. Where's that pic of Fry saying take my money?

Great soundtrack 

At first I thought it meant they were giving the soundtrack as a bonus for pre-ordering. Oh well.

Thanks for posting this Klepek. Nabbed myself the CD and downloaded the track. Really loved the soundtrack. Even whilst playing the game I was just constantly thinking how good the music was.

Pre-ordered the moment I saw it.

The soundtrack is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo goood.

So, the money I was potentially going to use to buy Bastion went to buying the soundtrack CD instead...
Awesome!

@laserbolts: Check out the Super Meat Boy soundtrack, amazing.

Sooner than I expected. Awesome. Totally buying that.

On my second playthrough on my 360, but I hope there's a demo for PC. Want to see how it looks in 1080p, and higher graphics settings if there are any choices.

hmmm might just wait a bit longer and get it on the PC then.

I just realized us Canadians are getting totally fucked on the xbox live points pricing. I should have waited for the PC version and save a few bucks.

Pre-ordered, and I'm probably going to order the CD too, because after a brief listen to the music I am pretty blown away.

@stalefishies

I was a little puzzled about that too.

But I'm gonna buy and play this via some route either way!

Bought that Soundtrack the second I saw this.

Downloading the Soundtrack at this moment. So good.
