Sifu's Early Access Period Is Broken On PlayStation

screenrant.com:

Anyone who was hoping to get their hands on an early digital copy of the upcoming martial arts action game Sifu might be in for disappointment as numerous players have been reporting issues with the early access download. This early download was meant to serve as a bonus for pre-ordering the Deluxe Edition of the hotly anticipated 2022 game — a practice that is common on both consoles and PC alike, with recent releases like Battlefield 2042 and Call of Duty: Vanguard offering early beta access for preorder customers.

Sifu is the first game from developer Sloclap since the similarly martial arts-oriented Absolver back in 2017. The review embargo for the game just ended today, and the general critical consensus seems to be that the title is a brutally challenging, visually stunning, and tightly polished experience. The game is currently sitting at around eighty percent on Metacritic, with popular outlets like IGN bestowing a 9/10 rating on the unique indie experience. Sifu earned 3.5/5 stars in Screen Rant's own review, despite some concerns about repetitiveness and a lack of content. Overall, the niche action game looks to be in fighting shape, ready to please fans of the genre when it releases in full in a few days.

Those who pre-ordered the Deluxe Edition of the game in hopes of playing it early might not be so pleased, though, as the PlayStation Store seems to be blocking early downloads of the game due to some unspecified technical issue.
