## Summary

Nightdive is bringing back the distinctive trapezoid packaging associated with the original Thief PC release for a special physical edition of Thief: Remastered. The edition is limited to console, leaving PC collectors without a version of the game in the shape that became a memorable piece of PC gaming history.

Preorders are opening for physical editions, with the trapezoid box offered for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2 and PlayStation 5 through Nightdive and partner Clear River Games. The remaster is due on 3 December. The article notes that PC physical editions are now uncommon, though some still exist, and points to GOG’s proposal for a service selling physical copies of games already in users’ libraries.
