Article updated on 02/17. at 11:26 p.m.: Finally, the FAQ was quickly updated to now indicate that the physical version of Redfall will indeed come with a Blu-Ray and no code, at least on Xbox. However, the Bite Back Edition will include a code, but only for the exclusive items included in that version.
On the PC side, however, you will have to be content with a code.
The physical retail version of Redfall for Xbox Standard Edition comes with a Blu-ray disc. The Bite Back upgrade can be purchased separately. Inside the Bite Back Upgrade you will find a code that will allow you to get the Bite Back Upgrade items in game. Owners of the physical Xbox version of Redfall who wish to purchase the Bite Back upgrade can do so digitally or at participating retailers.
The physical retail version of the PC version does not include a game disc. The Xbox Standard Edition is the only SKU that provides players with a physical game disc.
Original post:Redfall is Microsoft’s next big game. Developed by Arkane, it is expected to be released next May and will feature a new gameplay trailer shortly. In the meantime, the game brings bad news, because after learning that it requires a mandatory connection to play it and that it is sold for € 79.99, today it is the physical edition of the game that is hers speaks.
No disc in Redfall Physical Edition
In fact, it seems that the physical edition of the game doesn’t come with a disc, just a code. The bad news appeared on the Bethesda website. In the game’s FAQ, available on the publisher’s website, a question refers to the codes present in the game’s physical editions.
We then learn that physical Xbox copies contain Xbox Play Anywhere codes that can be added to Xbox Series X|S or PC. This way you can enjoy the game on both media and use the same backup at no additional cost.
What codes do the physical versions of Redfall contain?
Codes contained in physical PC copies of Redfall are Steam Codes.
Xbox physical copies of Redfall are Xbox Play Anywhere codes redeemable on both the Xbox Series X|S and the Microsoft Xbox app on PC.
Everything suggests that there will be no Blu-ray in the boxes of the physical Xbox editions. Instead, you have a code that can be redeemed on both console and the Xbox PC app.
Of course, this is a real disappointment for fans of physical editions, who are increasingly concerned about Microsoft’s decisions and policies in favor of the dematerialized format. As we have seen in our article dedicated to Xbox collectors, many of you appreciate this format and it goes without saying that you will logically be disappointed with this information.
Remember, Redfall is coming to Xbox Series X | S and PC will be available. It will also be available in Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass right on the day of its release.
