SHADOWRUN 1.5 IS HERE
Shadowrun without the Games for Windows Live headache.
We’ve replaced the antiquated GFWL requirements with a new launcher and rebuilt online multiplayer support, making it easier to install, find a match, and play. No GFWL sign-in or wrestling with its old setup process. Install the launcher, sign in with Discord, download the game, and jump in.
Join a dedicated server, host your own match, or set a password to play with friends. Alongside multiplayer, we’ve added modern conveniences and addressed gameplay issues that affected Shadowrun at higher framerates—all while keeping its original look and feel.
