The 10th Anniversary of Guild Wars 2 is fast approaching and ArenaNet have had a rather big announcement for the game. Not only is the next expansion in early development but the game is finally getting a Steam release.

Guild Wars 2 will launch on Steam on August 23rd and can be wishlisted now.

The base game is free to play with options to upgrade to Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns™, Guild Wars 2: Path of Fire™, and Guild Wars 2: End of Dragons™ from day one. The game has 10 years of content and enough to keep even the most hardcore of MMO players happy for some time.

Guild Wars 2 removes DirectX 9 support

ArenaNet have announced they will be ending support for DirectX 9 to allow them to use more modern rendering features. This will give Guild Wars 2 better graphics and smoother performance, all while negatively affecting as few players as possible.

Therefore the Minimum System Requirements for the game are updating as you will require a DirectX11-compatible GPU, which shouldnt be too much of an issue seem as though it launched in 2009.
If players are unsure if their GPUs are able to run DirectX 11, players can easily check the compatibility of their hardware by following these very simple steps:

  • Enter “dxdiag” into the taskbar search box.
  • Select dxdiag from the results.
  • Click on the “Display 1” tab in the diagnostic tool when it pops up.
  • Under the “Drivers” section on the right, read the numbers in the “Feature Levels.”
  • If this list contains the number “11_0” or higher, the computer’s GPU is DirectX 11-compatible.
