Mysterious shipments of Poop Slinger in 2026

In May 2026, several independent video game stores unexpectedly received shipments of one of the rarest PS4 games, Poop Slinger. The surprise delivery has sparked speculation and curiosity about where these rare copies came from.

About Poop Slinger

Poop Slinger was originally released in 2018 through the PlayStation Store. The physical release followed in 2019 and was handled by Limited Rare Games. Demand for the game was limited, which resulted in many unsold copies being lost. It is estimated that fewer than 100 copies are in circulation, despite Sony requiring a minimum print run of 1,000 units for physical PlayStation releases.

Because of that scarcity, the game has become a collector’s item, with online prices climbing to more than $1,000. The complicated situation around availability has fueled growing interest and speculation about the fate of the unsold stock.

The mysterious shipments

In May 2026, 39 video game stores each received six sealed copies of Poop Slinger, putting 234 copies on the market all at once. The return addresses pointed to another game store that was also confused by the shipments. The origin of this mysterious stock remains unknown, though several theories have emerged.

Some speculate the copies surfaced from a warehouse or storage unit, while others suggest developers or people involved with the game decided to sell off excess stock. The situation is especially notable given that Limited Rare Games went bankrupt in 2019, and creditors would have been expected to handle the unsold inventory.

History of Limited Rare Games

Limited Rare Games, which shut down in 2019, was responsible for the physical distribution of Poop Slinger. The bankruptcy was caused by the game’s poor sales performance. When the company closed, several reports said its assets, including unsold copies, would be auctioned off or sold in some other way by creditors. That has raised questions about the current status of the lost copies.

In the time since the bankruptcy, Limited Rare Games’ social media and website have become active again, and bizarre videos have even been posted, including one featuring the late content creator Hard Rock Nick, who in 2024 spoke about the fluctuating value of an unknown item. It is unclear whether this has anything to do with Poop Slinger or something else.

Future implications

The recent discovery of shipped copies of Poop Slinger has only increased interest in the game, especially among collectors and players. The reason behind these shipments, and whether more copies will appear on the market, remains unclear.

It remains to be seen what happens next now that these rare copies are back in circulation. Will prices rise, or will the sudden supply shift the market? Time will tell.

For players who want to experience Poop Slinger for themselves, the game is available on the PlayStation Store for $4.99.
