One day before its launch on Windows 10, a new trailer for the PC version of fighting game Killer Instinct has been released. This video specifically showcases the game's performance test, which developer Iron Galaxy recommends you conduct before getting started.

As you'll see, Performance Test is listed under Help & Options. The process takes around 60 seconds, and once it's complete, you'll receive a score out of a 1,000. It also appears that you must reach a certain level to play in ranked leagues online, though it's unclear what threshold you must meet to do this.

Killer Instinct will be available tomorrow, March 29, for Windows 10 through the Windows Store. You can check out the game's minimum and recommend PC requirements here. The video also shows off some of Killer Instinct's graphics settings, including motion blur, bloom, and ambient occlusion.

March 29 is also the date that Killer Instinct Season 3 begins, across PC and Xbox One. It'll be available for $20 on both platforms and includes a total of eight characters, four of which will be available at launch: Arbiter, Rash, Tusk, and Kim Wu. Just recently, developer Iron Galaxy teased the next new character, a vampire believed to be Mira. In other recent news, you can look at Arbiter's numerous customization options.

Killer Instinct, a free-to-play game, supports cross-platform play between PC and Xbox One.
