Indie Game "The Blue Prince" has excluded Xbox players from its luxurious release this year, leaving Xbox gamers disheartened.
In a move that could signal a growing interest in physical game releases, the quintessential Steam Deck game, Blue Prince, is now available for pre-order as a collector's edition exclusively on the PlayStation 5.
The Blue Prince Collector's Edition, a partnership between Blue Prince and iam8bit, offers a range of exclusive merchandise to enhance the gaming experience. The edition includes a PS5 disc with an exclusive O-sleeve, a fold-out poster, and a digital soundtrack.
For those who appreciate physical collectibles, the edition offers a variety of items. The Red Prince Picture Book, a hardbound, cloth-wrapped replica from the game, costs $29.99. For collectors of pins, the Mount Holly & Rogue Moon Pin Set, featuring premium hard enamel pins, is available for $19.99.
For the avid note-taker, the Mount Holly Estate Notebook, a faux-leather hardcover notebook with lined graph paper, is priced at $19.99. For those who want a piece of the game's environment, the Basement Key Replica, a full-scale replica of a key from the game, costs $46.00.
For the more casual collector, the Keychain Blind Bag Series 1 offers the option to purchase one of twelve random replica keys for $14.99, or all six outright. A $10 coupon for future Blue Prince products is included with some merchandise.
The Commissary Bundle, priced at $149.99, includes the PS5 game, picture book, basement key, pin set, notebook, one blind bag keychain, and a $10 coupon for future Blue Prince products.
The physical launch of Blue Prince may be an olive branch to the PlayStation audience, as the game had a notorious bug that wiped save files, which was patched in late May. The author, who has a digital library but still buys physical editions for games they love, believes this could be a test of player interest in a physical release.
The Blue Prince Collector's Edition is only available for PlayStation 5, making it an exclusive edition through iam8bit specifically for the PS5 platform. While there is no announced or planned version for Xbox, the possibility of a physical launch for Blue Prince on Xbox at a later date remains.
For those who love Blue Prince and want to own a piece of the game, the collector's edition offers a unique and exciting opportunity to do so. Pre-orders are now open, so don't miss out on this chance to add a piece of gaming history to your collection.
