According to the game developer's press release, the game can be downloaded via the Windows Store, Steam, the Square Enix e-store, Amazon and a host of other retail and online stores beginning Jan. 28. The award-winning video game promises to deliver 4K resolution and support for Windows 10 users.

Gamers can also enhance their gaming experience with the Collector's Edition. For $149.99, players receive the Digital Deluxe game pack, a 12-inch tall Lara Croft action figure, and reproductions of Lara's journal, necklace and steel case.
Both Scot Amos and Ron Rosenberg, co-heads of Studio at Crystal Dynamics have expressed their delight in the upcoming release of the highly-acclaimed video game for the PC.
"The PC release of 'Rise of the Tomb Raider' continues the positive momentum from our highly successful partnership and collaboration with Microsoft for the launch on Xbox One and Xbox 360," Amos said during the press release.
