BioShock Gets Price Drop for Mobile Version -- Is $11 the Sweet-Spot?

If you thought $15 was too steep a price for the iOS version of BioShock, you're in luck. Effective Thursday, 2K Games has cut the price to $11--a markdown of $4, or 26.67 percent. You can buy the game at the new price today from iTunes.

BioShock for iOS devices brings the "full experience" of the 2007 original game to mobile devices, and includes touch controls and Bluetooth game controller support. We got to try the game out last month with both control styles, and you can read our impressions here.

Overall, 2K describes BioShock for iOS as a "true AAA gaming experience." The game features Game Center support, and is compatible with iPad Air, iPad Mini 2, iPad 4, iPhone 5S, iPhone 5C, and the iPhone 5. It will not work on earlier devices.

The most recent entry in the core BioShock series was 2013's BioShock Infinite, which has shipped over 7 million copies to date. Its developer, Irrational Games, effectively closed down in February 2014, and future installments in the series will be developed by 2K Marin.

A BioShock Infinite Complete Edition is in the works, but no new titles have been announced. However, parent company Take-Two believes the BioShock series still has a lot of life left in it.
