Phantom Dust remaster is hitting PC this week, and it's free

Microsoft announced an Xbox One exclusive re-make of Phantom Dust back in 2014, but things have changed since then. Firstly, the re-make was cancelled in favour of a (presumably much cheaper) remaster, and secondly, it's no longer an Xbox One exclusive. Not only will the remaster be launching on PC, but it will be doing so this week and it'll be free.

The offer isn't limited either: Greenberg later confirmed that it will be permanently free, though it's possible to "buy multiplayer cards", though players who don't do that "will not be penalized".

The re-make has 16:9 support and "some nice frame rate updates". Sure, it's not the full blown remake we were waiting for in 2014, but then, it wasn't coming to PC back then either. It's a free game.
