How To Upgrade BioShock And BioShock 2 To Remastered Versions On Steam
Those who already own BioShock and BioShock 2 on Steam will receive the remastered versions for free when they release.

On the other hand, if you own a Games for Windows Live copy of BioShock 2, then you can simply get the remastered version by just entering its Games for Windows Live key into Steam. After entering the key, the remastered version will be automatically added in your library.
BioShock: The Collection will be released on September 13, 2016 for PS4 and Xbox One and will be released for PC after two days, on September 15. The Collection includes the remastered versions of both BioShock and BioShock 2. BioShock Infinite is also included in the collection, but it hasn’t been remastered since it already meets current-gen console standards and runs smoothly on high visual settings.
