Annapurna Interactive has announced an apology to players who received the incorrect version of Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition for PlayStation 5. The physical copies distributed through iam8bit lacked the Echoes of the Eye expansion, leading to dissatisfaction among fans. Although Annapurna promised to provide the DLC via a digital voucher, many felt this was inadequate. Starting next week, players can return their faulty physical copies for a full refund, allowing them to reorder the correct version. This mix-up has prompted criticism, as the incomplete game does not meet the expectations of collectors.

What should players do if they received the wrong version of Outer Wilds?

Players should return their incorrect copies to where they purchased it for a full refund and then reorder the correct version. Annapurna is offering this solution to rectify the situation.

Outer Wilds is a critically acclaimed exploration game developed by Mobius Digital and published by Annapurna Interactive. It combines elements of puzzle-solving, space exploration, and mystery, engaging players in a richly woven narrative as they uncover the secrets of a mysterious solar system. The Archaeologist Edition was highly anticipated, especially with the inclusion of the Echoes of the Eye expansion that enhances the gameplay experience.
