Physical editions of Digimon Story: Time Stranger may be hard to come by at launch, the game's developer has warned. Roughly 10 years after the release of Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth, the next mainline game in the series is almost here, but fans hoping to get the disc version may have to wait a little longer. It's looking like the first run of Digimon Story: Time Stranger physical versions could sell out very quickly.
While a decade has passed between Cyber Sleuth and the latest Digimon Story game, fans haven't had to endure too long a stretch since the game's official announcement. Bandai Namco revealed the title during the February 2025 PlayStation State of Play, and Digimon Story: Time Stranger will be available on October 3, though some users will be able to play it a day early depending on the version they get and their time zone. With release day looming, excitement is high, and Bandai expects that to impact the availability of hard copies.
On September 30, the official Japanese Digimon Story: Time Stranger account tweeted that the packaged edition of the game "may be difficult to obtain" in its first week after launch, thanks to high demand....
