Outer Wilds PS5 Discs Missing DLC Content Due to Error

PlayStation 5 owners who purchased the physical Archaeologist Edition of the indie hit Outer Wilds are feeling shortchanged due to an issue that raises questions about how such mistakes occur. Annapurna Interactive, the game’s publisher, has had to come clean about a major snafu with this premium retail release.

About Outer Wilds

Outer Wilds is a critically acclaimed adventure game that released in 2019. Players take on the role of an intrepid space explorer tasked with unraveling the mysteries of a strange, ever-resetting solar system. The game was a hit with critics and fans alike for its storytelling and open-world space exploration.

Issue with the PS5 Physical Edition

The physical Archaeologist Edition for PS5, released on August 30, was supposed to include the base game and the Echoes of the Eye expansion. However, the discs somehow ended up missing the Echoes of the Eye DLC entirely. Annapurna has acknowledged the error and is working to get to the bottom of the problem.

Annapurna is asking impacted PS5 owners to contact iam8bit’s support website with proof of purchase to receive a downloadable voucher code for the missing Echoes of the Eye expansion. However, many fans are disappointed and are calling for full disc replacements or refunds, as they had purchased the premium physical version specifically for the complete package.

My Thoughts

Outer Wilds PS5 Discs Missing DLC Content Due to Error

As I was going through the latest news, I came across an article that left me surprised – Outer Wilds PS5 discs are missing the DLC content due to a manufacturing error. This is quite unfortunate for the fans who were looking forward to playing the premium Archaeologist Edition.

What Went Wrong?

The issue seems to have occurred during the manufacturing process, where the wrong version of the game made it into production. The publisher, Annapurna Interactive, has acknowledged the mistake and has issued a statement to apologize and provide a solution to the affected players.

What’s Next?

Annapurna is working to get to the bottom of the problem and is offering a downloadable voucher code for the missing Echoes of the Eye expansion. However, this may not be the solution that fans were hoping for, especially since many of them paid extra for the physical version.

While this is a frustrating situation, I do appreciate Annapurna’s efforts to make things right. I can only hope that they will provide a better solution to the fans soon.
