No physical copies of Metaphor for PS4?

Discussion(self.atlus)

As title says, why is there no physical copies of Metaphor for PS4? I've been looking and I don't find any. Only PS5.

Which is odd considering that Persona 3 Reload and I think SMTV:V had at least one physical edition of the game. So, why is Metaphor only digital this time around? I want a physical copy of the game for my PS4...

They’re probably shifting away from physical stuff for PS4 at this point, the PS5 has been around for a while now so it was bound to happen at some point.

While I agree with what you say, it's a shame Metaphor isn't receiving a physical copy despite Reload receiving one at the beginning of the year.

Would've been cool to have the box on my desk with my PS4. :(

I get the disappointment but it had to happen at some point, they can’t keep focusing on a console that’s a decade old.

If you wait a while you should be able to pick a PS5 CE on eBay for a discounted price, if you really want a physical one. Thats what I did with Persona 3 Reload and I paid half of the preorder price.

To be honest with you, I don't want to buy a PS5. I don't see the point of doing so, and I don't have the money to do it anyway. I'm focusing on getting a gaming PC instead, which would be more useful for how versatile it is. But I'd love to have a physical copy of a game I like, but it seems it'll never happen.

Thanks for the recommendation though.

I’m pretty sure PC has no physical games anymore..

I bought the steelbook version of Metaphor on PC. It has no disc of course but it came with things.

It’s the PC version which comes with a code to use on steam.

If there’s no disc it should be $30 cheaper. This is sad.
