We're not gettin' a physical for this one folks

Not on PlayStation anyway. Though odds that only Xbox gets a physical is unlikely.

As an Xbox owner, it's a bit rough even right now. Lots of games I'd want to buy already don't get physicals, so I end up getting them on Switch or (if they're older) PS4

Yeah, PS5 physical is definitely out so it will be interesting what happens with Xbox. I can see Microsoft pushing them to do a physical Xbox Series release, because that in itself would be a huge selling point for the platform. But at the same time, the install base for Xbox Series is just not that great, so I can also see Amazon Games deciding that since PlayStation is already out, why deal with the logistics of a physical release at all on any platform then.

Also, being a 2028 release, it almost certainly means Catalyst will now be a PS5/PS6 and Xbox Series/Xbox Next cross-gen release title.

If Legacy of Atlantis is getting a Switch 2 port, I’m holding out hope for Catalyst. Even then, unknown if it’ll be a GKC or not

I dont even mind GKC'S nearly as much, it's still physical enough that it doesn't kill retailers and secondhand. That's the only way many people can afford games
