Are you ready for some exciting news? PM Studios has just confirmed that the physical version of Yooka-Replaylee will be hitting store shelves on December 18th. Now, I’m not really sure why this matters, but it’s always nice to have a ‘proper’ physical release for a game, right? The digital launch is scheduled for next week on October 9th, but if you prefer to have something tangible in your hands, then mark your calendars for the physical release just in time for Christmas.

What’s even better is that the physical version of Yooka-Replaylee on Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 will come with some extra goodies. Yes, you heard that right – a collectible game map poster and an exclusive character sticker pack! Not too shabby, huh? And all this for just $49.99 USD (SRP) on all platforms. So, if you’re a fan of physical collectibles, this is definitely something to consider adding to your collection.

Now, let’s talk a bit about the technical side of things. The team at Playtonic has confirmed that the Switch 2 version of Yooka-Replaylee will run at 30fps. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like that’s pretty decent for a game like this. However, they are also looking into the possibility of implementing a performance mode sometime after the launch. So, if you’re all about that smooth gameplay experience, you might want to keep an eye out for any updates on that front.

In conclusion, the physical release of Yooka-Replaylee with the extra map and stickers is definitely something to look forward to this holiday season. Whether you’re a collector or just prefer having a physical copy of your games, this edition seems to have something for everyone. And with the promise of a potential performance mode in the future, it looks like Playtonic is keeping their options open for the players. So, mark your calendars for December 18th and get ready to dive into the world of Yooka-Replaylee like never before!
