Get the Physical Release for PS4 Courtesy of iam8bit
One of the downsides to the digital era of gaming is the lack of delicious, tactile interaction with your purchases. Thankfully, there are sometimes solutions to this dilemma. Case in point: Hyper Light Drifter is getting a limited physical release on the PS4.
A scant 9000 copies are being produced, meaning that interested collectors are going to want to move on this quick. Each copy comes with a world map and a full-colour instruction booklet, with the price set at $30 USD. The second item is a real rarity nowadays, with most companies cutting physical booklets in favour of online info guides. The physical edition will be available on April 3rd, in time to mark Hyper Light Drifter’s one-year anniversary. The action adventure title was originally released on PC to widespread critical acclaim after a long and arduous development cycle.
With the push towards digital releases growing stronger, so too does the desire for collector-friendly physical editions. Companies like iam8bit and Limited Run Games are taking advantage of this need and providing hard copies of various digital titles. Of course, these are time-sensitive products and sales. In order to maintain that collectors’ air of legitimacy, these things always have a finite supply. To that end, fans of Hyper Light Drifter will want to act fast, before this baby ends up on eBay at four times its original value.
