Complete and updated list of PS4 indie/exclusive/limited/regional physical releases

[DOAsaturn]

I've been tracking limited and exclusive titles for the PS4 as well as indie games (games released by smaller publishers or games not typically released in physical format). I also like to track exclusive games for each region (I don't collect Asia-specific stuff for the moment, so I haven't concentrated on that, though I'd be curious if there are any English-language/subtitled games that are available there and nowhere else). I'd like this to be a great resource for collectors going for indie titles (like me) or going for full physical sets (since it is tricky to know what is available in the region you don't live in).

Please suggest any additions. For now I'm holding off on including typical JRPG's and the like since those aren't in the same vein as your typical indie game. I'll only include those if they fit in any of the "exclusive" lists below.

[Spartacus]

That's a very complete and informative list. Well done!

I think the PS4 will be a collector's dream with so many indie games getting physical releases from all over the world. It just makes collecting for it so damn interesting. And these are usually in the $20 to $30 price range, so collecting isn't expensive.

I've been collecting for the PS4 for awhile and can offer a few titles for consideration...

From the EU you can find a physical version of Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris - Gold Edition that was only released digitally in North America. You can also find Valkyria Chronicles Remastered Europa Edition.

English subtitled games from Asia to consider are Alienation, Fat Princess Adventures, Shadow of the Beast, Caladrius Blaze and the Hotline Miami Collected Edition.

I'm curious if there's a reason you did not include Mighty No. 9?

Again, well done for a much appreciated list and effort.
Thanks!

[kupomogli]

I'll also list some games that are exclusive to other regions as well.

Bloodborne The Old Hunters (Asia English release) Includes game and all DLC, no US release
Bloodborne Game of the Year Edition (PAL) Includes game and all DLC, no US release
Gundam Breaker 3 (Asian English release)
Super Robot Wars OG The Moon Dwellers (Asian English release)
Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs Force (Asian English release)
Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme PS4 (Asian English release)
SD Gundam G Generation Genesis (Asian English release)
Super Robot Wars V (Asian English release)

These aren't indie but maybe you could add a list of digital only games that later received retail ports?

Pacman Championship Edition 2 (Also US only so far, haven't seen any listings anywhere else.)

Added Pac-Man, doesn't seem to have a definitive date yet but I knew it was coming out relatively soon... Yeah, my intent with the Indie list is to also include it as sorta a catch-all list for digital games that got physical versions later. So games like Pac-Man CE 2 should live in that list.

Yeah, I'd like to create a list of Asian-English games, but would like more data about the games so I can sort them out (whether they are released in Japan, Hong Kong, etc..., whether they are English subtitled or have English voiceovers as well) The Hong Kong releases look like "region-free" releases without any ratings system box on the front, etc... I'm not too familiar with the Asian releases...

Mighty No. 9 was an oversight. Lara Croft Gold Edition is the only version of the game to have a physical disc right? American copy just has a PSN code?

[DOAsaturn]

Hate to be a speculator on PS4 collecting right now, but I'd have to say the rarest physical game at this point is probably Toro (Spain, PAL), probably moreso than any of the Limited Run games. It is fun to kind of gauge things as they are fluid now, then you can get a better understanding of the true rarity for these things later down the road, I guess that is why I find modern collecting (or I like to say, archiving) to be fun.

Agree. I've only seen one copy come up on Ebay worldwide in the last year and ironically it was sold by a US based collector. Of course, I just now checked and oddly there is a UK based seller with three new copies who won't ship to the US.

Of course...and they are selling at a pretty nice price. I know of one person in the U.S. outside of myself who own the game (guy on youtube has a video of his collection with it, maybe he's the same guy that sold it...) I don't know why it even got a physical release tbh, game looks like low budget PS2 stuff. The other two Spanish (non-music) releases aren't all that rare, but I found Tadeo Jones to be a pain to import at a decent price. I could see that one probably being a decent rare down the road.

[Bojay1997]

Just went to a Walmart in San Diego, CA and it looks like Professional Farmer 2017 has a physical release. I only saw the Xbox One version but I would assume there is probably a PS4 release as well. It had the UIG logo and an ESRB rating on the front and was priced at $30. Of course, Farming Simulator 2017 was on the shelf next to it for $50 with the exclusive Walmart DLC.

[lendelin]

Great list! Thanks for creating it and maintaining it! For playing and collecting this is a very important list!

I got a PS4 pretty late (6 weeks ago) and use it since then pretty much as a retro-console. :) Although I love current games as well, I have to say that I had a great fun time with Lumo, Song of the Deep, Assault Suit Leynos and Giana Sisters.

In particular Lumo surprised me. Fantastic game, great level design, atmosphere and humor create an own identity despite its clear Solstice- and Equinox-roots. A fantastic hommage to the now extinct 2D-isometric-puzzle platformer. I can only highly recommend this game, I enjoyed it as much as Shovel Knight.

I'm so glad that we get physical releases of these games since the success of the two Rayman games. However, my enjoyment with and the general success of these games are also an indicator of a huge deficiency in modern game design. Simplicity, challenge, the rewarding feeling by slowly mastering the game and the playful bonkersness of the 2D-era and early 3D-era did not translate into modern game design. There seems to be a big divide between the childlike game aspect of the games in the 80s and 90s and the 'serious' games of the last decade. Modern games take themselves too seriously and the 'playful' component falls short.

I don't know the reasons why that is. The realistic 3D-graphics? The dramatically increased production costs as an obstacle to take risks for courageous and unusual game design? All I know is that we live in an era of triple A-titles which I enjoy a lot but cannot deliver the simplicity, challenge, and playful puzzle-aspects of the games pre-2000.

Just a heads up that a UK seller listed Toro on Ebay. I took one copy at $50.00 shipped, leaving one for anybody interested.

Really? Wow... I haven't seen anything about a physical release from any sources I traditionally use (and don't regularly use). I'll hold off on adding to the list until someone can spot the PS4 copy. Somehow not excited about the possible existence of this one lol.

Is the Wal-Mart exclusive DLC actually on the box itself or is it a sticker on the wrapper? I did see this the other day when I poked my head in Wal-mart. Surprised to see all these "unannounced" exclusives all of a sudden at Wal-mart (or shall we say "de facto" exclusive since that is the only place some of these games are popping up lately). I'm half expecting to see that Forestry see a physical release here now...

[DOAsaturn]

I got one already and don't want to get greedy. Hopefully someone here snatches it. Looks like they opened up their shipping availability then.

Lumo is coming in the mail for me today or tomorrow, can't wait to try it. I hear you on big budget, modern games lacking that simple, relaxing and enjoyable gameplay that could keep me hooked for hours. Not to say I that I don't have fun with those (Battlefield 1 getting a lot of time lately, but sharing it with a few indies...). It's also not to say that indie stuff can't be garbage (Super Dungeon Bros. just came out and is pretty shabby imo). But I do miss the general variety games released in the pre-PS3/360 days going back to the NES.

It was gone 15 minutes after I posted. Just a random chance that one was available when I was looking. That's what I like about collecting.... you never know. I'm sure more will turn up.

I also grabbed Yesterday Origins, Ginger: Beyond the Crystal and Worlds of Magic Planar Conquest from UK sellers. I saw copies of Joe's Diner and Forestry 2017 listed from Germany and Greece, respectively. So I'm thinking a UK seller will have those soon.

It's always a crap shoot with these games. Will they get a US release or not. They aren't really anymore expensive to get from Europe even with the shipping, but I would prefer US versions when ever possible.
You just never know ..... LOL

I know...the traditionalist in me wants that NTSC version whenever possible. Though I'm happy collecting PAL games these days if that is my only option, considering how we live in a region-free world now...

Yep, I try to wait a month or two after the UK release to see if anything pops up for a US release. There are some developers and publishers that just don't have good distribution relationships in the US and have never been able to get anything released over here. Of course, the fact that UIG is now getting stuff published over here on consoles is a little odd, but they have been publishing on PC in the US, so I guess it's not much of a stretch. I've been holding off on Worlds of Magic Planar Conquest because it's Maximum Games, so I suspect that one might make it over here eventually.

Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers got a physical release for the XboxOne and PS4 in Europe (PEGI).

[Bojay1997]

Cartoon Network: Battle Crashers got a physical release for the XboxOne and PS4 in Europe (PEGI).

It was also released physically today on Xbox One, PS4 and 3DS in the United States. On an unrelated note, Gamefy (which is usually pretty accurate) is now showing Tower Of Guns Special Edition as having a US PS4 physical release on 11/22. They were showing it as 12/31/16 for a long time. There is also a placeholder on Amazon that went up last night.

I just noticed Tower of Guns slipping in there on Amazon too...wow, that took a long time for them to get it over to the States if that is true...

Confirmed with UIG on Facebook that it is, in fact, true that Professional Farmer 2017 for PS4 should be in North American stores soon (which I'm assuming is Wal-mart at this point). Also confirmed with Headup Games on Twitter that Bridge Constructor will be a physical title in German-speaking countries only (it is available for preorder on Amazon.de). I am going to assume Silence (which hits later this month as well) is a German-only release for now, but Bridge Constructor is rock-solid German-only.

Confirmed with Microids that Moto Racer 4 will see an American release on 1/24...could be digital though, they didn't specify...

Looking like Hasbro Family Fun Pack: Conquest Edition is available on Gamestop's website, haven't seen it for purchase/preorder elsewhere. Drops next week.

I just noticed Tower of Guns slipping in there on Amazon too...wow, that took a long time for them to get it over to the States if that is true...

Confirmed with UIG on Facebook that it is, in fact, true that Professional Farmer 2017 for PS4 should be in North American stores soon (which I'm assuming is Wal-mart at this point).

Hasbro went up for preorder on Best Buy earlier today on both platforms as well.

Snoopy's Grand Adventure (2D platformer)

Snoopy's Grand Adventure (2D platformer)

I'm not following. That game was sold worldwide on multiple platforms.

I'm aware of that. But so is Shovel Knight, and it is on the list. It doesn't fall into the exclusive, indie, small developer/publisher categories, but that's the case with a lot of listed titles. The game is an easy, cutesy 2D-platformer, by far not as good as Rayman or Giana Sisters, but becasue of the gameplay and the genre I think it should be on the list.

Shovel Knight is not only an indie, but the Vita version was published by Fangamer which is a very niche publisher and the other versions were published by U&I and Yacht Club Games. Snoopy's Grand Adventure was published by Activision in support of a multi-million dollar grossing movie. Not even a close call.

I think the Snoopy game falls more into the realm of "budget" releases, games released by major publishers at a less than full MSRP (49.99+ being the cutoff). They key in shaping this list is looking at the publishers first. Funny, as I do own the Snoopy title, I ordered it from Amazon when it went on sale recently (like 14.99) and they sent me the PAL version...

In other news, I noticed the upcoming German title "Silence" is getting released on PSN in N. A. tomorrow. That further solidifies its chances of being physically released only in Germany I think. Overcooked is out tomorrow. Limited Run people should have got both Shantae titles now, just got mine yesterday.

Oh and the American "Toro" owner is selling another copy for $60/shipped http://www.ebay.com/itm/Toro-ps4-game-sealed-/222314959934?hash=item33c301143e:g:rkYAAOSwImRYFQA o

Added DUCATI 90th Anniversary to the PAL Limited Exclusive list. Apparently only available in Italian Gamestop stores...working on getting myself a copy before that becomes ridiculously obscure...

[DOAsaturn]

Apparently GAME stores in Spain are releasing some Spanish-developed indie titles in physical format. Five are releasing next week and one releases in December. I added them to the list. And, of course, GAME.es doesn't ship to the U.S. Could see all those being tricky to grab later down the road.

Looks like it's a timed exclusive as it is available for pre-order on Amazon Spain for March 2017 release.

[DOAsaturn]

Looks like it's a timed exclusive as it is available for pre-order on Amazon Spain for March 2017 release.

I actually noticed that first and did a search on the game and found the Italian Gamestop release. Looks like they did add a little bit more info on the Amazon listing since, though (I think it was a 12/31/17 placeholder date before). Will keep an eye on it. A couple ebay sellers on ebay.it were selling it for pretty cheap, but didn't want to send to the U.S.

Found the website for the Spanish PS4 indie development project. https://www.playstarter.es/ It is in English. Looks like two more titles will be getting physical releases over there (Moerakis and Mindtaker). Seems like the titles are being developed in English, so they might at least get some digital distribution outside of Spain... Moerakis sounds odd "Moerakis is a frenetic American Football game, played in third person in which the protagonists are stone giants". I have a friend in Spain who is going to work on getting these, he says Sony is ramping up their ground game over there, setting up multiple game studios. Kinda cringing at the cost of all the importing I might have to do if that is the case...

[Bojay1997]

Really? Wow... I haven't seen anything about a physical release from any sources I traditionally use (and don't regularly use). I'll hold off on adding to the list until someone can spot the PS4 copy. Somehow not excited about the possible existence of this one lol.

Is the Wal-Mart exclusive DLC actually on the box itself or is it a sticker on the wrapper? I did see this the other day when I poked my head in Wal-mart. Surprised to see all these "unannounced" exclusives all of a sudden at Wal-mart (or shall we say "de facto" exclusive since that is the only place some of these games are popping up lately). I'm half expecting to see that Forestry see a physical release here now...

I just bought the PS4 version of Professional Farmer 2017 at Walmart this morning. So, it's officially out in the wild along with the Xbox One version.

Added to the list. Not sure if I should consider this a pure indie release or put it under the NTSC limited section, since it does appear to only be a Wal-mart issue... I'll leave it there for now unless we see more widespread distribution...

Weird it isn't on wal-mart.com yet...

[DOAsaturn]

Got a couple copies of the Ducati game from Gamestop Italy. This took quite a bit of effort and extra cost with package forwarding, but decided to take my chances despite a possible Spain release of this next year. Seen a couple used copies on ebay.it, but nobody willing to ship yet, so I went with the more "direct" route.

9899

[DOAsaturn]

List should be pretty well updated to reflect releases through the end of this year with a few announced titles for early 2017 sprinkled in.

Thought I'd bump this up with a reminder that Wild Guns: Reloaded will be on Amazon tomorrow. Natsume has promised a bonus with all orders and has confirmed it to be a limited release.

[Bojay1997]

Abzu is definitely not a Gamestop exclusive as it is now up for preorder on Amazon.com with the 20% Prime discount. Also, Big Buck and Monster Jam are no longer Walmart exclusives as Best Buy and Amazon now have listings for them for January release. Don't Starve is listed for March 28th on Amazon.com through 505 Games.

Thanks - updated. Kept Big Buck and Monster Jam on the list with an added asterisk. Will move them to the regular indie part of the list once the timed exclusive does end.

I had heard that Don't Starve cancelled the physical release plans for now? Do you have the Amazon link. I had only seen it on VGP.

That's interesting about Don't Starve. Another guy on the playstationcollecting forums called up VGP and they said they recently got a call from the Don't Starve publisher that they aren't guaranteeing the release, so they took it off their website...but now it is on Amazon. Head spinning...

Trying to find out from infamous UIG if they released Industry Giant on physical disc in the U.S. According to their Facebook site, it almost looks that way. May have to snoop around Wal-marts again a la Professional Farmer 2017. https://www.facebook.com/UIGEntertainment/?fref=ts

According to their rep in a Facebook post from December 12th, Industry Giant is getting a physical US release, although it might be later than December 20th.

"We will release the product worldwide (except Asia currently). The game will be available on the 20th of December in Online Stores and will be followed by retail releases in Europe and US."

Great work, guys.

I am planning on purchasing a PS4 the next week and this releases are on my watch :rocker:

[Gamevet]

I see that nobody has mentioned Rez Infinite.

It's already on the list and has been for a while.

I didn't see it. Sorry.

Aha, it's in the 1st group.

Good article - thanks
So many obscure games!

Thanks. It is a bit of a hobby to do this kind of amateur archival work. I collect a lot of these but not sure I'll ever go for a complete set, just try to nab the most collectible at the time of release in hopes to get the potentially pricey ones out of the way first.

Thinking of just going all out Google Doc and making an all-region checklist (sans Asian, except for English-compatible releases - I can at least keep up with all those).

[DOAsaturn]

Just a note/reminder that according to the eastasiasoft twitter, they are prepping a physical release through someone else (not LRG) for April 2017. Didn't say what game or whether it was PS4, Vita or both.

[Bojay1997]

Gamestop has just added Professional Farmer 2017 and Industry Giant II to their preorder list on Gamestop.com, both with a release date of 2/21/17. It looks like Walmart's "exclusive" on Professional Farmer is ending and Industry Giant 2 seems to have a firmer release date (the physical version is scheduled for release in the UK at the end of January). Industry Giant 2 is $40 on both Xbox One and PS4, while Professional Farmer is $30, just like Walmart.

It'll be interesting to see if Industry Giant II releases outside of Gamestop, but I sorta assume so at this point. I jumped the gun way back and ordered the German copy for $36 shipped before I even saw that UIG was planning a release outside of Germany. I guess I should assume they always will try to get their games out there. Looks like Silence lost its German-exclusivity pretty quick, Spain seems to be getting the game this month. Bridge Constructor is definitely still Germany-only according to Headup Games.

Signature Edition Games is starting to ship copies of Slain: Back from Hell (still available to order), the standard release is out in February, so this will actually beat that date.

Amazon just added Earthlock for 02/14/17, This is the Police for 03/01/17 and Battle Chasers with a placeholder date of 12/31/17, all for PS4.

I found this thread so informative and useful that I didn't want to let it fade too far into obscurity. A new indie title to add to the list is a twin stick shooter from Argentian developer Ravegan. Exclusively available at Play-Asia.com and supposedly limited to 2,500 copies, the Limited Edition Blue Rider PS4 game includes a disc, manual, soundtrack and sticker sheet.

So I finally broke down and bought the German version of Kyurinaga's Revenge. This was released on disc in Germany back in October of last year and nobody outside of Germany seems to want to publish the game. Odd, since the game is in English and Spanish, but not German LOL. It's gotten terrible reviews and is the follow up to the hack & slash game Yasai Ninja, though Kyuringa is more of a puzzle platformer. I didn't realize it at the time, but the developer, located in Spain, is the same one that made Toro for the PS4. So I now have 3 pretty bad games from these guys on my shelf, though I will say that the Kyurinaga's Revenge box art is actually pretty spiffy looking. The game case was shrink-wrapped with a bright cartoony 3D lenticular cover sheet laid over a 56 page art book underneath.

And then there's 2Dark. I bought the Limited Edition version of the game from the UK recently. I think the limited edition is the only physical version of the game available right now. This European crowd funded game was developed by the creator of the Alone in the Dark games. It's a stealth, horror adventure game about attempting to rescue captured children from serial killers. So what would make me think that this may never get a physical edition release in the US? Well, it's because the children the game tasks you with rescuing can be killed - accidently or intentionaly. I just figured Walmart or Target won't being willing to put up with the inevitable complaints.

Anyhow, the incredible amount of indie games getting physical releases has been a real treat and I'm enjoying collecting for the PS4 more than I ever thought possible.

Too bad that this great thread doesn't get updated anymore.

There is good news:

Release date: September 12th
Price: $30
Platforms: PS4 and Xbox One

Just a heads-up:

Sine Mora Ex (published by THQ Nordic) is available now on physical disc for the PS4, XboxOne and the Switch. PS4 and XboxOne: $20, Switch: $30.

Sine Mora Ex is a great traditional 2D shoot-em-up. So all shoot-em-up-fans shouldn't miss out on that one.
