Additionally, they confirmed that the Japan-set open world racing title will get a physical disc release on PS5 on launch day. Details about editions and possible early access aren't known yet. On PC and Xbox, the game was available in Standard, Deluxe, and Premium editions, the last of which granted four-day early access.
