Initially available only in digital format on PS5, the physical editions for Red Matter and Red Matter 2 are now being made available for pre-order. There are no restrictions on the number of copies that can be pre-ordered, and the ordering window will remain open until May 25.

Based on the information provided on their store pages, it appears that the physical editions will not include additional content beyond the main game on disc, as is often seen with Limited Run Games releases. The price for Red Matter is set at $34.99, whereas Red Matter 2 will retail for $39.99, with shipping anticipated in late September.
This announcement adds the Red Matter franchise to an expanding catalog of VR titles published by the boutique company. Other physical PS VR2 titles that are no longer available include Kayak VR: Mirage, C-Smash VRS, and a Pixel Ripped double pack, while other companies, such as Skydance Games and Perp Games, continue to provide physical editions for PS5 consoles.
In our earlier reviews, we commended both titles upon their initial launch. Red Matter, released in 2018, was described as a “textbook example of how to do VR adventure games right” due to its impressive immersion and design. Fast forward four years, we lauded Red Matter 2 for its “stunning visuals,” praising the sci-fi sequel, and later revisiting it for the PS VR2 release.
