Collectors rejoice! Limited Run Games has announced that it will be going green this summer, with its first ever Xbox release since the company partnered with Microsoft.
For those unaware, Limited Run Games is a third party publisher that takes digital releases, usually from smaller developers, and launches them in physical form — sometimes with special Collector's Editions as well. Oh, and another clue is in the name; they don't usually make many copies available.
It's a niche market but one that is growing, especially as indie games become a larger part of the industry. They're often only available digitally, so a physical option is great for collectors out there.
If a Limited Run release does take your fancy, it's worth getting in early. Some of these fetch huge amounts on the second hand market, so it's worth keeping an eye on the upcoming Xbox launch.

I emailed LR about a year ago and asked them about Xbox releases and one of their people replied and said that Xbox will not allow them to publish games on their platform. I am not privy to this new deal, but that initial response sounded like complete bullshine to me. I don't know whose wheels needed to be greased, but looks like someone finally is satisfied.
Don’t do it. I’ve been a customer in the past and for quite a while. It’s not a good experience. They are the worst kind of company. Lazy and think they are rockstars.
@Zochmenos Makes sense. Yeah, while I am in the digital only crowd when it comes to Xbox gamers, I completely understand there is a large group of Xbox guys who will thoroughly enjoy their physical collection and would welcome LR on the greenside.
Expensive shipping, 6+ months wait times, manufactured scarcity, exclusive partners with Wayforward, and now bowing down to Konami, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Deep Silver, etc... LRG is truly terrible.
@GunValkyrian They have zero control of how long production times are. Limited Run is a solid company none the less.
@Zochmenos Also still hold great resale value on the open market. I try to only buy physical copies.
