Pentiment and Hi-Fi Rush Treated to Physical PS5 Versions by Limited Run Games

This is wonderful! I play Xbox on PC, so I didn’t have an option for a physical version of Pentiment. Do I go Switch or Ps5? 🤔 either way, very nice news.

Phil is "supportive" of physical media but then, despite Xbox being a major publisher that owns the games, they won't publish physical copies themselves? What's the logic here, if any?

Sigh why not give us proper retail physical versions that we can own straight away.
Also someone in the LRG company got fired for playing Hogwarts

This is great for anyone who wants their copy of these games around 2026.

@TheCollector316 Physical games sell less than they used to. Hi-Fi Rush and Pentiment are hardly going to sell loads of physical copies so it's not worth the money for Xbox to do it considering their smaller install size as well as their more popular and less expensive console being digital only and the fact that both games are available digitally on Gamepass.

Even Limited Run games have said they wouldn't be supporting Xbox with every physical release due players typically being digital first.

Bleh Limited Run. I can't stand them.

I’ll probably buy these games just to support Xbox games coming to PS5. Plus, it’s a unique time so it’s pretty exciting. I have beaten Hi-Fi Rush last year when it first released on Xbox, and it was one of my GOTY’s. I haven’t played Pentiment, as it doesn’t really interest me, but I might pick it up just in case it sparks my interest at some point.

@TheCollector316 Make someone else pay to put it on disc.

Definitely getting both on disc. Would be rude not too after all I moan about it!

@TheCollector316 Phil was just talking out of his ass as usual

Scooping that Hifi physical for PS5

**** Limited Run...
Often we get standard retail releases over here in Europe, of titles that LGR got their nasty hands on, in the US. So hopefully Hi-Fi Rush, is one of those titles, that gets a standard physical release over here.

@Dragoon1994 even worse. They got fired for saying they were looking forward to playing it.

Such a pity that the physical releases got gobbled up by Limited Run. I suppose I'll have to settle for digital versions then.

I bought 2 games from LR in the past... Extortionate pricing (they're jobsworths with the import tax) and an almost endless wait time to ship 😂. Good quality products though.

@Dragoon1994 Fired for playing hogwarts? What happened there? Don't want to be supporting lrg if they're pulling that kind of ***** lol

Xbox and Limited Run. Sigh. To me it's kind of cool but limited versions. Nope I'm not buying sorry Microsoft but you lost me.

If that's for the US then understandable, if EU/AU and more get copies for retail which they have been pulling away from doing more and more over the years publishers then eh great. Used to be able to count on EU releases of physical but as there with some digital physical or certain others over time of laziness I've had less enthusiasm towards that being a thing anymore than it was years ago.

I would have bought the games physical if at a Gamestop/EB Games or somewhere suitable but limited copies through limited run then limited of a wave or two at retail.

No thanks. If No Straight Roads, Shovel Knight, Demon Turf (Xbox physical ONLY I MIGHT ADD and smart delivery) or other Indies of a certain scale publisher are willing to be bought up by people physical, I say go fk yourself if you really think Hi Fi Rush won't sell at retail.

As if a rhythm hack n slash won't sell. Like seriously how lacking confidence are you. What it shadow dropped and now further platforms and your that stubborn to release it even if are releasing it physical. Do better marketing then than being lazy because you really don't care to market it well enough then.

It's hardly an obscure niche game at all. Let alone a niche genre.

I'd buy it digital on PS or Switch at that point then limited physical copies or just not buy it at all and watch a let's play and save my money. Get stuffed.

Besides all that it's good they are getting physical and both games deserve more support on platforms that will actually care about them more.

It's not like I wouldn't buy a hack n slash I did Valkyrie Elysium (exclusive to PS4/5), Bayonetta 3 (Switch), DMC5, hated God of War 2018 still have it on the shelf, didn't buy Raganrok, hated Ryse Son of Rome but still keep it, like I said bought up No Straight Roads, didn't buy Bayonetta/Vanquish combo as I already own them on other platforms (Bayonetta 1 & 2 on Wii U, Vanquish on 360).

I bought up all of the Darksiders series/quadrology even if 3 sucks, an eh souls metroidvania then the better of the hack n slash, RPG, isometric RPG of 1, 2 and Genesis. I wasn't into Genesis due to the camera angle and most games in that side of the genre but it's one of the few I actually like and keeps the Darksiders story/level design elements in it.

I'd buy up many platformers with hack n slash elements like Ty 1 (2 & 3 do that more but still) or Legend of Spyro.

I can't even get a Strangers of Paradise Final Fantasy Origin copy physical anymore I just don't see them available in my area.

Just because souls and others are more cult hit of trendy doesn't mean many of us hack n slash/character action whatever to call the genre fans may be small or things have changed doesn't mean we won't support the games.

We still exist and still buy them up. Even if to me most of them buy up the big, I myself buy up any that interest me which most of them do.

If Phil was taking this seriously. Make Asia physical editions with multi language options so people who want it can import it from places like PlayAsia (like the Kiryu Yakuza game last year)

@Krydle physical games actually sell more than they used to.
It’s just that digital is growing at a faster rate.

Neat-o but I’ll wait for them to pop up on videogameplus before buying, limited run has kind of gone to hell and I have my doubts about there long term future with being part of the embracer group.

@atthegates Sacred Symbols did an interview with her about it which you can find on YouTube, her name is Kara Lynne

@Kraven well said, Kravem. I plan to buy as many xbox to ps games as I'm interested in to further help encourage MS to loosen their grips on the biggies like Starfield

@TripleKing333
Even with them firing someone for wanting to play Hogwarts?

@atthegates
Yeah they got fired because they wanted to play Hogwarts so I assume that they would have played it even before or afterwards.
LRG kinda suck for doing that.
Hogwarts is such a fantastic game

@Azex
Yeah they kinda suck as company for doing that.
I assume the person will have played Hogwarts now though.
I don’t get why they fired the person for wanting to play a fantastic game

@Logonogo Thanks, will check it out 👍

@Dragoon1994 I don’t give a rats ass who they fire.
