The special PlayStation 5-only physical Revered Edition of Mortal Shell 2 has sold out across many retailers, with demand exceeding expectations, publisher Playstack announced on July 16, 2026 [1, 2, 3]. The edition includes a physical disc, a collector's box, a 100+ page art book, a SteelBook case, art prints, and preorder bonus skins [1, 2, 3].

Priced at approximately $69.99 to $70, the Revered Edition costs significantly more than the digital version, which is available for around $50 [1, 3]. Playstack said they fully reserved supply across retailers due to the strong consumer response. "Demand for the PlayStation 5-exclusive physical Revered Edition of Mortal Shell 2 has exceeded expectations and unfortunately supply across a number of retailers has now been fully reserved," the publisher stated [3].

The game is due to release globally on August 20, 2026, for PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X/S [1, 2, 3]. However, Playstack warned that given the close release date and manufacturing time needed, additional physical copies of the Revered Edition are unlikely to arrive before launch. "There is a very low chance of additional physical copies becoming available before the game’s release," Playstack said, adding they are working with distribution partners to consider stock replenishment after launch but cannot guarantee availability [1, 2, 3].

A standard physical edition of Mortal Shell 2 for PS5 remains sold separately and available on the market [2, 3].

Fans and gamers have used the sellout of the physical Revered Edition to criticize Sony’s announced plan to end physical disc production for PlayStation games starting January 2028. The policy means PlayStation 6 consoles will be digital-only. Some social media users have expressed anger over the decision, citing Mortal Shell 2’s physical sellout as clear evidence that physical media remains relevant [1, 2, 3].

Industry analyst Daniel Ahmad of Niko Partners remarked this reflects how physical media may evolve: "Limited edition physical disc at a higher price than the standard digital only base game... it does show this model works and could continue working," he said [3].

Mortal Shell 2’s official release across platforms is set for August 20, 2026, marking the date when all editions will be available to players worldwide [1, 2, 3].
