Article updated on 02/17 at 11:26 p.m.: Finally, the FAQ was very quickly updated and now indicates that the physical version of Redfall will indeed contain a Blu-Ray, and not a code, at least on Xbox. However, the Bite Back edition will contain a code, but only for the exclusive items included in this version.
On the PC side, however, it will be necessary to be satisfied with a code.
The physical retail version of the standard edition of Redfall for Xbox comes with a Blu-Ray disc. The Bite Back upgrade can be purchased separately. In the Bite Back Upgrade, you will find a code that will allow you to get the Bite Back Upgrade in-game items. 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 come with a game disc. The Xbox Standard Edition is the only SKU that provides players with a physical game disc.
Article original :Redfall is Microsoft’s next big game. Developed by Arkane, it is expected for next May and will offer a new gameplay trailer shortly. In the meantime, the game has bad news, since after learning that it required a mandatory connection to play it and that it will be sold for € 79.99, today it is the physical edition of the game that is talking from her.
No Disc in Redfall Physical Edition
Indeed, it would seem that the physical edition of the game does not contain a disc, but only a code. It’s on the website of
Bethesda that the bad news has appeared. On the game’s FAQ available on the publisher’s website, a question refers to the codes present in the physical editions of the game.
We then learn that Xbox physical copies contain Xbox Play Anywhere codes, which can be added on Xbox Series X|S or PC. This allows you to enjoy the game on both media and use the same backup at no additional cost.
What codes do the physical versions of Redfall come with?
Codes contained in physical PC copies of Redfall are Steam codes.
Physical Xbox copies of Redfall are Xbox Play Anywhere codes that can be redeemed on both Xbox Series X|S and the Microsoft Xbox app on PC.
Everything leads to believe that there will be no Blu-ray in the boxes of the Xbox physical editions. Instead, you will have a code that can be redeemed on console as well as on the Xbox PC app.
This is obviously a real disappointment for fans of physical editions who are increasingly worried about Microsoft’s decisions and its policy in favor of the dematerialized format. As we saw 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 that Redfall will be available on May 2 on Xbox Series X | S and PC. It will also be available directly on the day of its release in Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
