This full HD upgrade will run at 1080p with 60 fps. You can see some footage of it in action in the announcement video below:
The PlayStation versions will cost £15.99 / €19.99 $19.99 and offer Cross-Buy support between Sony's platforms. Those in Europe and Australia can snag it for 15 per cent off and pre-order it now, while Americans will have access to the promo at launch.
Furthermore, the game's The Outsider DLC will be available from day one.
Looking ahead, SteamWorld Heist will be released on Steam "very, very, very, very soon after" the PlayStation release. Xbox One, Wii U and iOS version will follow.
SteamWorld Heist launched last December for 3DS, where our Chris Donlan recommended it.
"SteamWorld Heist is filled with wit and invention," he wrote in his SteamWorld Heist review. "Like any master burglar, it's plundered wisely, but it's got plenty of its own tricks to balance that out."
