PostActivating physical pc game on steam

Quick question. In tesco just now and clocked arkham origins for £3 a pc physical copy. How would I activate this to run on my mac steam account? Is there a code in the box that will register it on steam?

There should be a code in the box.

Do you get the mac versions as well as the pc version when you activate it or are you dual booting your mac?

FYI: Arkham Origins doesn't have a Mac version (yet). Arkham City and Arkham Asylum does, however.

Since when do they do Steam codes with physical purchases?

If the game is a steamworks game then forever.

Steam has been going a while and certainly long eneogh that downloading games wasn't an option for most.
All of my early chamionship manager games were physical copies and had steam codes I think.

Literally my first PC game on disc was Audiosurf, which was Steamworks.
