I feel it should be emphasized: This game was originally announced as CIB. My best guess is that maybe Fallout 4 didn’t perform all too hot, whereas Indiana Jones did solid.
Pleasant surprise as I had remembered it being announced as CiB or GKC, and had written it off as a no buy. If it is indeed coming physical, it'll get my purchase.
Looks like this is actually a game on cart now?
If so, I'm happy to support it
I'm happy they'll release a complete version but why couldn't they do this for the PS5 disc which holds much more data? Heck, they could've done two discs like FF VII Rebirth did if they needed to. Same for the Indiana Jones game which they also released full on cart for SW2. Bethesda is becoming the Jekyll and Hyde of gaming when it comes to physical games.
Who would’ve thought of all studios that Bethesda would be the main one doing complete on cart all the while being owned by Microsoft of all companies
Appears that standard edition is just digital but the deluxe edition is physical. Was sold out on Amazon within hours of announcement and listed as currently unavailable.
Supposedly the game is still in a fairly poor state and hasn't been updated in about a year. Hopefully it's not just a simple port but has some other updates as well (and those updates make their way to the other versions of the game).
