October 24, 2006 — 2K, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), and Valve today announced an agreement to bring a collection of 2K PC games to Steam. “With titles from legendary designer Sid Meier and 2K’s world renowned developer, Firaxis Games, 2K is one of today’s foremost publishers,” said Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve. “Through this initial agreement with 2K, Steam’s game library expands to include four great strategy games. We look forward to delivering more from 2K in the future.”
This seems to be a continuing trend here! So far it will be Sid Meier games available, but we may just see the rest of the collection available later this year. So if you want an easy way to grab Civ IV, or even III, load up Steam later this week.
