The premium Revered Edition of Mortal Shell 2 has sold out across multiple retailers prior to its August 2026 PS5 launch. Cold Symmetry and publisher Playstack discovered that demand for the special edition—which bundled physical materials including an artbook and art cards with digital content—exceeded their production capacity, and manufacturing constraints make restocking before release highly unlikely. Only the standard physical version remains available in most territories.

The rapid depletion of premium physical stock underscores ongoing consumer appetite for owning games on discs, a market segment that persists despite digital dominance. The timing carries particular weight given Sony's announcement to eliminate PS5 disc functionality by January 2028. The sell-out has intensified consumer criticism of Sony's decision, though the company has not publicly addressed the mounting backlash against the removal of physical ownership options.
