Metaphor: ReFantazio physical edition fully supports offline play

If, or perhaps rather when, the servers close for Metaphor: ReFantazio in the future and it's no longer downloadable - it will still be playable.

For a long time, many people preferred to buy physical games so that they would still be there when the servers are closed one day. But in reality, there are a lot of games today that are not on the disks at all, or do not work without a day 1 patch. This means that on the day the servers shut down, they can't be used for much else than Christmas tree decorations, homemade disco balls or as a shiny coaster for your teapot.

But there are still publishers who cater to gamers who prefer physical games, and Atlus is one of them. Yesterday, as you know, Metaphor: ReFantazio was released, and on Friday evening it was reported via social media that the game for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X is fully stored on the disks and can be launched without internet or patches.

Essentially, should the servers shut down and the game is no longer downloadable, anyone with working Metaphor: ReFantazio disks will still be able to launch this 2024 Game of the Year contender in the future.
