Below is a list of "physical" games I could find on pre-order in Australia from a physical walk in shop. I made the list to hopefully help others who are physical game collectors like me and shun the poor practices of some developers cutting costs to release sub standard physical games Please feel free to add anything I missed and I will update the OP post. So far there is 6 games I won't be buying, and perhaps go a step further and not even support those developers on any platform. As at 11/06/2025 | Game Title | Developer | Physical Type | Download Size | | Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster | Square Enix | GAME-KEY-CARD | 11GB | | Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition | CD Projekt Red | FULL GAME | 56.8GB | | Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion | Marvelous | FULL GAME | | | Donkey Kong Bananza | Nintendo | FULL GAME | | | Farming Simulator: Signature Edition | GIANTS Software | GAME-KEY-CARD | 20GB | | Hitman World of Assassination Signature Edition | IO Interactive | GAME-KEY-CARD | 61GB | | Hogwarts Legacy | Warner Bros | GAME-KEY-CARD | 24GB | | Kirby and the Forgotten Land - NS2 Edition + Star-Crossed World | Nintendo | FULL GAME | 11GB | | Madden 26 | EA Sports | GAME-KEY-CARD | 65GB | | Mario Kart World | Nintendo | FULL GAME | 21.9GB | | No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES | Spike Chunsoft | GAME-KEY-CARD | 10GB | | Pokemon Legends: Z-A | Nintendo | FULL GAME | | | Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S | Sega | GAME-KEY-CARD | 4GB | | Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army | Sega | GAME-KEY-CARD | 17GB | | Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma | Marvelous | FULL GAME | | | Sonic X Shadow Generations - Day One Edition | Sega | GAME-KEY-CARD | 24GB | | Split Fiction | Hazelight Studios | CODE-IN-A-BOX | 71GB | | Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar | Marvelous | FULL GAME | | | Street Fighter 6: Year 1-2 Fighters Edition | Capcom | GAME-KEY-CARD | 50GB | | Super Mario Party Jamboree - NS2 Edition + Jamboree TV | Nintendo | FULL GAME | 13GB | | The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild - NS2 Edition | Nintendo | FULL GAME | 24.1GB | | The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - NS2 Edition | Nintendo | FULL GAME | 19.9GB | | Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and 4 | Activision | CODE-IN-A-BOX | 39.1GB | | Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut | Sega | GAME-KEY-CARD | 49GB |
NOTE: Download size for GAME-KEY-CARD versions are based on what was written on the GAME-KEY-CARD AUSTRALIA cover at the time of adding it to the list. The full digital only version size may differ between this and between regions. |
Why did you put "physical" in scare quotes? This implies the opposite meaning - no physical games.
Also, Game-Key Card contain no game data on the card, only the license to download. There are no Game-Key Card with plenty and even dozen of GB on them.
Game-Key Cards are not physical games, so they shouldn't be on this list. The same with Code-in-the -box games.
Physical games only mean those cartridges that have the entire game on them, meaning that are not depended on download to run.
OP wrongly understood the subject. |
You are on the money. I am taking the piss out of the term physical as third parties have forgotten what physical means, hence the quotes.
They release a physical box in store that takes up space with a let down inside, so they should be on the list so people know they are not getting a full physical game and require download.
