Since 2018, Super Rare Games has set a gold standard for bringing the finest indie games to Nintendo Switch™. Today, they’re raising the bar yet again by venturing into new territory — PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.
Super Rare Games has announced the release of three acclaimed titles for PlayStation: Flynn: Son of Crimson (PS4), The Touryst (PS4), and Source of Madness (PS4/PS5).
They’re kicking things off with a bang by bringing these renowned Switch physical releases to the PlayStation platform, with a total of 2,000 copies for each game, meaning 4,000 copies for Source of Madness. Fans and collectors should mark their calendars for June 22nd at 6 pm BST (10 am PDT/1 pm EDT), when these limited-edition games go on sale exclusively at superraregames.com.
Super Rare Games’ PlayStation releases promise to uphold the same quality standard they’ve set for the Nintendo Switch. Each PlayStation game will include a game printed on the disc, a full-colour manual, interior artwork, an exclusive sticker, and a slipcover. Moreover, each PlayStation release will be individually numbered — much like their Nintendo Switch physicals — allowing collectors to easily keep track of their prized collections.
From the mysterious world of Flynn: Son of Crimson to the adventurous paradise in The Touryst, and the Lovecraftian-inspired universe of Source of Madness, these titles bring the immersive gameplay, compelling narratives, and creative design that PlayStation enthusiasts are eagerly waiting for.
Let’s take a look at each of the games that Super Rare Games are bringing to PlayStation gamers.
