Hi everyone!
We’ve got something extra special to share today - something many of you have been asking about since the very beginning. After months of planning, designing, and packing (literally!), we’re excited to confirm Outbound is officially getting physical retail editions, including a fully packed Collector’s Edition!
Notably, the Nintendo Switch 2 edition will be a full cartridge release, letting players enjoy the adventure in a true collector's way.
There’s something incredibly magical about holding a piece of the Outbound journey in your hands, and being able to offer both a Standard and an absolutely stuffed Collector’s Edition!

Please note that since digital distribution does not require physical production, we will be able to offer the digital version for the Q2 2026 release at a lower price than the physical Standard Edition. We’ll be sharing the finalized digital pricing chart very soon!
