It's expected that this will be the base version of the game without the extra DLC or additional in-game aesthetics that have popped up in other versions, especially for PC gamers.

On Amazon, the game is listed as costing £27.99 and you can pre-order now for many major retailers if you want a hard copy.

Once you have the hard or soft copy of the game, you simply need to log in, find a network, and start snooping.

To play with friends, you can create private networks with a code that can be shared around so that you can all play together in the online mode.
