There was no greater surprise than knowing that Tunic will have a beautiful physical edition, with the air of offering the same as the editions of yesteryear, but with much more content. With a not exorbitant price and a large amount of material for the most fan, this is an almost obligatory purchase for fans of the game and even for recurring fans of the adventure genre.
The most discouraging thing is that, as you can see in the image, the game will not have a physical edition for Xbox. The runs will be limited to the Nintendo Switch and PS4, the latter having a free upgrade to its PS5 version. That Microsoft’s consoles are left out of the picture is incongruous with the not-so-past history between the game’s creator and Xbox.

From Meridiem Games they have no idea why there is no physical edition of Tunic for Xbox. Creator Andrew Shouldice has not commented, although the relevant entity here is the Finji editor. It seems that they did not see it as necessary or lucrative to launch a physical edition for Xbox users, who were the first to try Tunic thanks to Xbox Game Pass.
