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.
