Dying Light: The Beast gets its first physical PS5 release in three editions

• Techland is teaming up with Super Rare Games for three editions: Standard Edition, Super Rare Games Edition, and Anniversary Edition.
• All physical versions include the Definitive Edition with post-launch updates, and preorders are live now.

What happened

Techland is tying the first anniversary of Dying Light: The Beast to new activities, rewards, and discounts. The studio also confirmed that the game will receive its first physical disc release, and it is coming to PlayStation 5. That means the title is finally getting an official physical edition after its digital launch.

For the PS5 release, Techland is working with Super Rare Games. According to the announcement, there will be three physical editions: the Standard Edition, the Super Rare Games Edition, and the Anniversary Edition. All three include the Definitive Edition of the game, along with all post-launch updates. The provided information does not specify exactly which updates those are, but it does confirm that the full Definitive Edition content is included in the physical release.

The Standard Edition includes the PS5 game and a game manual, and will be available with unlimited preorder quantities. The Super Rare Games Edition adds an SRG sticker, an exclusive metallic slipcover, and a numbered SRG release, with limited stock. The Anniversary Edition is also limited and includes physical items inspired by Castor Woods. The available information does not list the exact contents of those extra items, only that they are tied to that location.

Preorders for all three physical editions are available immediately through Super Rare Games. An exact release date and price were not included in the provided information. It is also unclear whether physical versions for other platforms will follow, since the announcement in the available details only confirms the PlayStation 5 version.

Background

The announcement explicitly links Dying Light: The Beast to its first anniversary, which means the game has been out for about a year. The exact launch date is not mentioned in the available information, so all that can be confirmed is that Techland is using the anniversary as a moment for extra content and commercial promotions.

For now, the physical release is only confirmed for PS5. The provided information does not say that a disc version is coming to other platforms, so PlayStation 5 remains the only officially named physical version in this announcement.

The collaboration with Super Rare Games is notable because the publisher often handles limited physical releases. In this case, three different editions are being offered, with the Standard Edition available without limits and the Super Rare Games Edition and Anniversary Edition both described as limited. That stock difference is a clear part of the announcement and shows that Techland and Super Rare Games are offering both collector-focused and more accessible options.

The mention of the Definitive Edition is also important, because the physical release includes not just the base game but also the post-launch updates that arrived after the original release. The available information does not mention separate patch numbers, expansions, or content packs, so it remains a general confirmation that the full Definitive Edition is included.

The announcement also mentions an anniversary campaign with activities, rewards, and discounts. The exact details are not outlined in the provided information, but it is clear that Techland is using the first anniversary as a moment for multiple actions around the same game. That makes the physical release and the anniversary campaign part of the same news story.
