Coming from insider billbil-kun on Dealabs, it looks like HoYoVerse’s popular Honkai Star Rail will be getting a physical edition for PS5.
For collectors and fans who , this is a kind of rare announcement. because that any live service game would have a physical edition is the kind of thing that hasn’t happened since the mid-2010’s.
Destiny had a physical copy, but not its currently running sequel. Fortnite had a disc for a time, but that didn’t last. miHoYo’s other massive title Genshin Impact doesn’t even have a physical copy.
According to the report players will also be able to get a few physical goodies along with the physical copy of the game, and it’ll be available if not sometime in Fall 2024, then Winter 2025.
It’ll also be called Honkai Star Rail: Trailblazer Edition, and come in at $39.99 USD. The report doesn’t exactly say when we’ll be hearing the news announced, but it’s worth noting that there is supposedly going to to be a State Of Play event sometime this month.
A physical edition of a game that’s already a PS5 console exclusive for a major third-party is exactly the kind of announcement that fits the State Of Play-bill. That, and the fact that HoYoVerse games have been featured multiple times in PlayStation events, so it wouldn’t be surprising to see the announcement hit there.
If that State Of Play happens, of course.
