Shadow Warrior Adds DirectX 11 Support in Free Update

March 31, 2015 by Ian Miles Cheong

A free update for Shadow Warrior adds DX11 support, Mac and Linux support, and more.

The first-person shooter/slasher Shadow Warrior has a new update that brings the game up to version 1.5.0. Patches and updates are generally not a big deal, but this one happens to be: it adds DirectX 11 based graphics support, SSAO, Mirror Effects, 64-bit optimization and a host of other features to the game.

Additionally, the game's update adds support for both Mac and Linux, so non-Windows PC users will have the opportunity to play the game for the first time around. 

If you already own the game on Steam, you'll have to download a 5 gig patch. To run 1.5.0, simply select the 'Launch (DirectX 11)' option when launching the game and you'll get to experience Shadow Warrior in all its new glory.

– Available for Windows Vista/7/8 and above.
