Fumi Games and PlaySide Studios said they have launched physical editions for Mouse: P.I. For Hire.
The timing couldn’t be better, since physical editions have been a hot topic ever since Sony said that it would stop selling physical discs for its game consoles starting January 2028, since demand had slipped for physical games. (Check out our story on the related Forever Project).
But there was a big backlash from fans. And today, Fumi Games and PlaySide Studios said they are celebrating the physical launch of Mouse: P.I. For Hire, with the black-and-white first-person shooter available to purchase now from retailers across the world.
Mouse: P.I. For Hire sees a physical release across two editions, a Standard Edition and a Deluxe Mouse: P.I. For Hire – Mouseburg Edition, both available starting today.
The physical Standard Edition is available globally for PlayStation 5 (physical disc) at USD $29.99, and Nintendo Switch 2 (physical game-on cartridge) at USD $39.99.
The physical Deluxe “Mouseburg Edition” is available for PC (Steam code in a box), PlayStation 5 (physical disc) and Xbox Series X (physical disc) at USD $49.99, and Nintendo Switch 2 (physical game-on cartridge) at USD $59.99, though stock is extremely limited and region restrictions apply.
Pre-orders should also begin shipping soon, so players are encouraged to check with their local retailer for updates.
With Metacritic and OpenCritic scores of 80 and 81 respectively, Mouse: P.I. For Hire is one of the highest-rated titles this year. The game has also been a hit with players, with player ratings of 94% “Very Positive” on Steam, 8.2 out of 10 on Metacritic, 4.8 out of 5 stars on PlayStation, and 4.8 out of 5 stars on Xbox.
