Black Myth: Wukong's physical edition: Is It Worth the Hype?
Black Myth: Wukong Finally Gets a Physical Release!
Big news for Black Myth: Wukong fans! This amazing action RPG, a 2024 hit, is finally getting a physical PlayStation 5 release! For a while, you could only get it digitally (PlayStation Store, Steam, Epic Games Store), but now you can finally grab a disc copy. That's great news for anyone who loves physical media! While some of you might only need one format for a given game – and many players would normally pick only one, a digital copy, a physical version exists, showcasing more variety in which people might interact with a given game!
It's not a special edition (no fancy statues!), but it does come with some perks which is definitely good. This also includes that special Deluxe Edition voucher, unlocking bonus digital goodies; a value addition at only $64.99 MSRP– slightly cheaper than the standard digital deluxe!
What's Included in That Deluxe Edition Voucher?
That Deluxe Edition voucher unlocks a bunch of in-game items that seriously boost those early game moments; and if you're into the soundtrack? A digital copy's also part of the deal, easily increasing the potential for multiple listening options outside the Gaming sessions themselves! Those upgrades in this initial period provide added incentives and is important because the early sections have brutal challenges that might only be possible for veteran action RPG players; those added benefits really create a massive quality of life boost early on; resulting in the initial period becoming much more accessible for less experienced action RPG gamers.
These bonuses are the same as in the digital deluxe version ($69.99). Buying the physical version might just mean you're saving money. Many players may just want that convenience and these kinds of early game assists to enhance their game playing experience overall, providing added incentives and an incentive to actually buy the entire package for newer, less experienced players! Getting the deluxe upgrades are far more common amongst those audiences who already love those aspects inherent to many action RPGs.
When Can I Get My Hands on the Physical Edition?
You can pre-order now! But there's no official release date yet! PM Studios (handling this physical release) promises availability “soon.” There aren’t enough specific timelines for when it might actually release! Those concerned gamers who can only play through one format, need to realize that while not much time has elapsed for this physical copy, some gamers prefer getting the title at launch and that added period required is therefore crucial to keep in mind for a complete overall review.
PC gamers? Still digital-only. And the Xbox Series X/S release date is still TBD – no word on physical copies, making that choice for physical collectors limited. This really highlights the limitation in terms of collector choice.
Conclusion: A Physical Copy Is a Solid Choice!
That physical edition of Black Myth: Wukong for PS5 is definitely a great treat. The additional content which really matters from the Digital Deluxe version combined into this reasonably priced package make this something even players currently playing this digital version should probably think about. Especially if you love having that physical collection! It's especially awesome if this is your first time diving into Sun Wukong’s adventure – totally making those initial and more intensive experiences more manageable for a wide array of player capabilities!
