Limited Run Games (producing physical copies of digital games) (2024)

I'm surprised no one else here is bringing up these guys. Seems right up our alley between the collectability of a physical copy + the rarity of a tiny print run (even smaller than much ballyhooed rarity of Gaijinworks' releases). Here's some info:

http://www.hardcoregamer.com/2015/10...any-name-says/

I can't say I had even heard of the games they're starting off with, and I can't say they sound or look that great either (Breach & Clear has pretty lousy reviews). But it's still an interesting prospect. Considering the low print runs and fairly low price for the games, I might nab them anyway, just to give them a shot. Or least for any Vita games they release, since I like the platform and it gets so few physical releases as it is. I hear Breach & Clear is at least improved from the digital release, so perhaps it's now not as bad as the reviews make it out to be.

If they can actually manage to keep this business going, I hope they can advance beyond C-tier indie games. I'd especially love to see some Japanese games, but they don't localize and I kinda doubt the publishers who have localized Japanese games for digital-only releases would hand over their IPs. But there is some nice stuff coming out on Vita digitally that could sorely use a physical copy.

EDIT:

Since Limited Run Games has been in business for a while now, I thought it would be worthwhile to create a master list of their catalog.

For the time being, all releases have their print runs split in half on the day of release, with the first half available at 10 AM EST, and the second half available at 6 PM EST. A minimal stock of canceled orders is also made available at a later date. Order limits are generally one, sometimes two, per game (or one per platform if the game is available on multiple platforms).

FAQs

Do Limited Run Games release digitally? ›

We're here to bring your favorite digital releases to life on a number of systems — including the Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4 and 5, retro consoles, and more!

Is limited run game safe? ›

Is my payment information safe? Payment information is processed securely by Stripe. No card details are transferred to or held by Limited Run Games or Purple Dot. All transactions take place via connections secured with the latest industry-standard security protocols.

What does Limited Run Games make? ›

The company produces and sells limited quantities of physical video game copies via its website and select retail stores.

Are Limited Run Games officially licensed? ›

They won't take games out of US/Canada. The coins thing sucks tho. Considering they have official Nintendo logos plastered all over them and are printed on their proprietary format, they're in fact licensed.

Will games become digital only? ›

Past that, the future will likely be completely dominated by digital-only gaming. You can even see this starting to play out with the recently announced PlayStation 5 Slim and Xbox's leaked cylindrical Brooklin console. Sony and Microsoft aren't looking to preserve the past.

Will The Last Faith have a physical copy? ›

The physical version will be available in 2024. If you want to make sure you don't miss this opportunity, I'd suggest subscribing to our newsletter at thelastfaithgame.com. Originally posted by The Last Faith: The physical version will be available in 2024.

Is it safe to install cracked games? ›

The utmost concern and likelihood are that cracked games commonly have viruses packed with the download file. Maliciously installing a virus as part of game software makes it very difficult for antivirus software to detect and remove the malicious software. Viruses could include spyware, malware, and worse, ransomware.

Will GigaBash get a physical release? ›

GigaBash is on a region-free physical cart for the Nintendo Switch.

Does Limited Run Games charge immediately? ›

Will Alan Wake 2 get a physical release? ›

Remedy Entertainment and Epic Games have announced the release of not one, but 2 (!) exclusive physical editions for the award-winning Alan Wake 2 on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. Whether you're a newcomer to the series or a long-standing fan, these editions pack plenty to excite and enthrall.

Are digital games just licenses? ›

A copy of software of any kind, whether it be digital or physical, is a "license". You don't own the rights to the game itself, the company does. That's the real reason why it's called a "license". Because you're not buying the game, you're buying a copy of an instance of that game.

Can you legally emulate games you own? ›

If you own a game physically, you are likely to emulate or own a ROM of the game. However, there's no legal precedent in the United States to say it's illegal. There is no trial on record of any company going to court over emulators or ROMs and their use.

How many employees does Limited Run Games have? ›

Are all Xbox One games available digitally? ›
