Outer Wilds PS5 Physical Edition Ships with Wrong Version on Disc | Push Square
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.

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).
