Limited Run Games

At PAX East 2025, Limited Run Games commented on the ongoing discussion surrounding physical cartridges for Switch 2. The company, known for bringing both retro and modern digital titles to physical media, confirmed that its own releases should include the full game on the cartridge. The only exception applies to partnership titles that aren’t part of its numbered lineup, where the decision will be left to the game’s developer or publisher.

Since the discovery of game key cards, the issue has sparked concern and some dissatisfaction among fans due to the growing trend of physical releases requiring downloads or shipping incomplete versions. This is especially true with the continued rise in game file sizes, as seen with Limited Run Games’ own announcement that the Raidou Remastered collector’s edition would include a game card. However, that was apparently SEGA’s decision and was not a part of Limited Run’s numbered lineup.

Gex Trilogy physical

It was only a matter of time until a physical release was confirmed for Gex Trilogy given Limited Run Games’ involvement, and today, the company shared full details plus a release date. The game will launch on June 16, 2025 with boxed versions to follow later in the year.

A standard version, Classic Edition, and Tail Time Edition are planned. The Classic Edition includes the game, retro box, steelbook, soundtrack selection, and 12” x 16” double-sided poster. The Tail Time Edition also includes the game, special box with art by Yoshitaka Amano, retro box, full soundtracks for all games, steelbook, 12” x 16” double-sided poster. 36” inflatable Gex doll, 7” Gex statue, remote pin, and trading cards.
