Current physical-edition status
| Edition | Status | What was checked |
|---|---|---|
| PS5 disc | Not announced | Publisher and official PlayStation listing |
| Switch 2 cartridge / game-key card | Not announced | Publisher and official Nintendo listing |
| Xbox physical edition | Not announced | Publisher and official Xbox listing |
| Collector's edition | Not announced | Publisher news and official store pages |
This status uses careful language. It does not claim that a boxed edition will never exist. Smaller games sometimes receive a later limited physical run after the digital launch. At the same time, a placeholder retailer page, marketplace resale listing or fan request is not proof of a product. Confirmation should come from Weird Beluga, Fireshine Games, an official console store or a named physical publishing partner.
Weird Beluga has publicly said the team would like boxed editions to become real, but that a smaller indie studio needs to see how the digital launch performs before deciding whether a physical run is feasible. That statement confirms interest, not a product, manufacturing partner, preorder or release window.
How to recognize a real announcement
- The publisher names the physical partner and supported regions.
- The listing specifies PS5 disc, Switch 2 cartridge or game-key card rather than only “boxed.”
- A preorder date, price, contents and fulfillment retailer are clearly stated.
- The announcement is linked from an official publisher, developer or platform account.
Avoid speculative preorders
Do not pay a third-party seller solely because a product title contains “physical edition.” Check whether the publisher has linked to that seller and whether cancellation or refund terms are clear.
What can you buy now?
The full game is available digitally on Steam, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and Nintendo Switch 2. The verified US reference price is $29.99, with regional prices and temporary discounts controlled by each store. A free demo on Steam and PS5 lets you test the game while waiting for any future physical announcement.
How this tracker will be updated
A future update should record the announcement source, date, regions, physical format, price, preorder opening and whether the complete game is on the media. Until those fields can be verified, this page will preserve “not announced” instead of guessing from search snippets. The page's visible verification date lets readers judge freshness.
Digital ownership while you wait
Players waiting for a physical release should remember that buying the digital version now does not normally convert into a future boxed copy. A later limited edition may also use a different publisher, price or regional shipping policy. If shelf ownership, lending or game preservation is your priority, waiting for a named physical partner is the clearest choice. If playing at launch matters more, compare the official digital stores and their refund policies before downloading.
Physical format details matter on Switch 2 in particular: a complete cartridge and a game-key card are not the same product. Any future announcement should state whether game data is present on the media and whether a download is required. This tracker will repeat the publisher's exact format rather than treating every box as a full cartridge edition.
