Everything is included and is available right now through Steam.
Judgment PC

The day few of us thought would actually come is here at last. Both Judgment and Lost Judgment from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio were released on PC today via Steam. In addition, the story expansion, Kaito Files, is also available. You can get all of them in a bundle deal where you can save 24% compared to buying each separately.

If you do wish to purchase them separately, the first game will cost you $39.99 (USD). Lost Judgment is $59.99 and Kaito Files is $29.99. If you go with the bundle deal, it's essentially like you're getting the Kaito Files content for "free" with that discount being offered.

Today's announcement and release came just a day after new ESRB ratings for PC were spotted and shared online. That was a pretty clear indicator that these previously console-exclusive titles were going to hit PC, we just didn't know exactly when that would happen.

The fact that these games are on PC at all is probably coming as a shock to many who know about the rights issues surrounding the main character. In short, the main protagonist in the Judgment games, Takayuki Yagami, is played by actor Takuya Kimura. Kimura is represented by a talent agency named Johnny's. Johnny's has a very strict policy when it comes to their talent and has viewed the PC platform as problematic for their business model. They were afraid of players modifying the player model or game to depict some compromising situations, if you know what I mean. The talent agency also often blurs or outright removes pictorial depictions of their talent in print magazines and online.

Whatever it is that Sega did to convince Johnny's to ease up on their fears is really anybody's guess. It's honestly nothing short of a minor miracle.

There are a few more big stories coming concerning Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio coming shortly, so stay tuned. Also, if you haven't yet checked out our review for Judgment, now is as good a time as any.
