Preorders are now open for the Amazon-exclusive Pacific Drive: Ritual Edition, a new physical release for PS5 that bundles the acclaimed survival game with its upcoming story expansion. This special edition is set to arrive later this year, offering fans a complete package that includes the full base game, the Whisper in the Woods DLC, four cosmetic packs, and a distinctive steelbook case with tuckbox packaging. Priced at $60, the Ritual Edition provides a comprehensive way to own the game physically, though a specific release date and any preorder incentives have yet to be confirmed.
For players who prefer not to wait, the existing Pacific Drive: Deluxe Edition for PS5 presents an attractive alternative, especially while it’s on sale. This version comes with the base game, a cosmetic pack, a reversible cover, three physical art cards, and a traveler’s journal. It is currently available for $36, down from its original $40 price. PC gamers haven’t been forgotten, with the standard edition on sale for $13.64 and the Deluxe Edition for $16 on Fanatical, offering significant savings for those looking to dive into the atmospheric adventure.
The original Pacific Drive earned widespread praise, receiving an 8/10 in our review for its deep mechanics and haunting setting. The game transforms driving into a tense and rewarding experience set within a bizarre, alternate-reality Pacific Northwest. Its compelling upgrade system and a stellar soundtrack featuring regional artists create an intoxicating atmosphere. While the journey can be demanding, the rich gameplay and intriguing narrative make it a standout debut from Ironwood Studios.
Beyond Pacific Drive, Amazon offers several other exclusive physical editions for major titles. Star Wars Outlaws: Limited Edition includes the Rogue Infiltrator Character Pack and is currently discounted to $30. Meanwhile, Assassin’s Creed Shadows: Limited Edition comes with the Naoe Sekiryu Character Pack, packed with legendary gear and items, and remains at its standard $70 price. This installment is considered one of the stronger entries in the franchise recently, offering a massive open world in feudal Japan that can easily consume over a hundred hours of playtime.
