In an unfortunate snafu, publisher Annapurna Interactive has revealed that physical copies of the PS5 Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition have shipped with the wrong game version on the disc, lacking the Echoes of the Eye expansion. Annapurna is still investigating the situation, but players who can provide proof of purchase will be issued a voucher to redeem it as DLC.

On X, retailer iam8Bit shared the update (thanks, Eurogamer, Happy Birthday!) with the unhappy mishap seemingly affecting all physical copies of the game. It's not something you see very often and is likely a major headache for all involved, especially whoever's job it was to QA those shiny, fresh discs. For the record, all PS4 owners can upgrade to the PS5 version of the game free of charge, while Echoes of the Eye is a paid expansion (and quite good, too).
