Spiritfarer is undoubtedly one of 2020's finest Indie releases, reaching 500,000 sales as word spread of its qualities. It was a shift in tone for Thunder Lotus Games - after Jotun: Valhalla Edition and Sundered: Eldritch Edition - and it undoubtedly paid off.
The developer is now teaming up with iam8bit and Skybound Games to release a physical edition, with pre-orders starting today at 'retailers around the globe' for launch on 27th July. Priced at $34.99/€34.99 (this is $5 more than the PS4 version, to keep you updated on the Switch tax), it'll include "access to a 96-page digital art book, six collectible postcard and sticker stamp sets highlighting exotic locations from the game, and a digital download of the game’s soundtrack, composed by Max LL."
It's worth noting that iam8bit will also be releasing a 2xLP vinyl soundtrack, along with a 'robust' Collector's Edition, but details on those will come at a later date.
More information will appear at spiritfarer.iam8bit.com, and as mentioned above pre-orders for the initial standard edition should start to appear at retailers globally.
Are you planning to grab a physical copy of Spiritfarer for Switch?

Bought but haven't played.
Can apply the above statement to about 150 Switch games.
Oopsie.
Physical pre-order trigger at the ready!
Ooooo, my favourite game at the mo! Currently playing on Gamepass, but wil prob pick this up.
Excellent, I was waiting for this release, but didn't anticipate iam8bit. Makes perfect sense though, they publish very artsy games.
Nice. I was holding out on a physical copy. Looks fantastic.
Nice! Glad I'll be able to pick this up from a regular retail store, like the Ori games.
@Low Me too, I’m glad it’s coming out physical.
Friend of mine told me about this game and I was looking into it myself.
Only sad part that I see is I'm going to need to find out if I can find a retailer that will stock this. Tried to get the special edition Ori and they ended up massively screwing up my order. Iam8bit was supposed to have sent it before the end of November, instead all of my friends had physical copies they purchased at Walmart or GameStop because apparently they weren't physical exclusives for the special edition that I purchased, nor were they pre-order physical only through Iam8bit. I thought that at least I would be getting two soundtrack downloads and to physical games, but then I found out you got a copy of the digital soundtrack for purchasing any physical copy of the game. They were making me wait at least 3 months late to charge me 180 USD for something I was able to purchase at Walmart for 66 bucks.
So yeah, I don't trust them.
Will buy if best buy has it.
Yas! I'm so glad I waited for a physical release.
Not far into it yet, but this game oozes bittersweet poetic charm. And has quite a bit to keep you busy with along the ride.
I want this but I'm not going to buy it day one. Lots of games queued up ahead of it.
Sounds rather tempting. :v
Ask and ye shall receive...pre-LRG E3 event, at that; huzzah! Held off playing because someone just had to Phys this! July 27 is marked on my calendar, so excited-YAY!!!
