What Remains of Edith Finch Physical Version Announced

By Seth G. Macy

Developer Giant Sparrow’s critically lauded What Remains of Edith Finch is coming to PlayStation 4 as a limited edition physical release.

In addition to the physical version of the game, a special edition vinyl of the game’s soundtrack is also coming out. Both the game and the soundtrack are available for pre-order now from iam8bit.

The physical game is coming January 2018 and features a “premium reversible cover insert.” It also ships region-free and will set you back $29.99.

The soundtrack is pressed onto a “brown smoke” colored vinyl with album art from Giant Sparrow artist Holly Rothrock. It’s also available for pre-order and will set you back $28.

What Remains of Edith Finch is a first-person exploration of the history of the Finch family. The game unfolds as you discover clues about each family member’s final moments, and while short, the game invites replays due largely to the complex and surprising nature of the family members’ vignettes.

In our What Remains of Edith Finch review, we called it “one of the finest magical-realism stories in all of games,” putting it alongside Kentucky Route Zero.
