Nice jeans.

Capcom has announced that DmC Devil May Cry is scheduled to release on January 25th for PC. That's only 10-days after its console launch, and to make up for the additional wait Capcom is promising a fulfilled PC version running at 60 FPS as opposed to the 30 FPS cap on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. In addition, it'll be available through Steam with achievements included.

For AMD users, Eyefinity will be supported at launch. Capcom Senior Producer, Alex Jones, said the following about its implementation in the press release:

DmC Devil May Cry’s performance on AMD is amazing, it pumps our already incredible visuals and effects to the next level, making it an even more immersive and intense experience.
