The PC version of the game has the "Developer's Cut" subtitle as it includes two added levels (Security Research 1&2). In these, which play just before you get to Tower 19 you get to explore a bit more of the military complex and you get to use a Riot Guard mecha suit. Additionally, there's a briefing room for the bad guys in the level which contains a billboard with pictures of the entire Starbreeze Studios team and, in a nearby room, a hidden pack of cigarettes that unlocks a DVD trailer and some behind-the-scenes stuff concentrating on the dev. team.

Much like today's DVDs, the PC version has "Developer's Commentary," which occasionally appears when playing through portions of a level that have a noteworthy piece of trivia about them.
Three weeks after the release, the original video game soundtrack was made available for free. It includes music from the game and four exclusive mixes. All tracks are composed and performed by Gustaf Grefberg and assistant composer Johan Althoff. Download it here.
