Brink getting Steamworks, shows off specs
by Steve Watts, Apr 12, 2011 12:45pm PDTThe fine folks at Splash Damage have revealed a few details about Brink, not the least of which is that the PC version will utilize Steamworks support. This provides voice chat, anti-cheating measures, friends support, cloud data, challenge leaderboards, and Steam achievements. Plus, auto-updates and easy downloads will be handled straight through the Steam interface. Happy day.
