Collectors, Act Fast: Tomb Raider Physical Edition Drops

Lara Croft’s legendary origin story is finally getting the physical treatment it deserves, but collectors have only a few weeks to stake their claim before the window closes for good.

“Tomb Raider Definitive Edition,” the critically acclaimed cinematic action-adventure that reintroduced fans to Lara Croft’s transformation from inexperienced thrill-seeker to hardened survivor, is now available as a physical release for Nintendo Switch 2 for the very first time, courtesy of Limited Run Games. Pre-orders are open now, but only for a limited time.

A Cinematic Survival Epic Comes to Switch 2

“Tomb Raider Definitive Edition” remains one of the franchise’s most acclaimed entries, immersing players in a stunningly lifelike world as Lara’s harrowing journey unfolds. Throughout the adventure, players guide an obsessively detailed Lara through high-octane combat, deep kit customization, and grueling environmental challenges as she works to uncover the secrets of the dark, mysterious island she’s stranded on.

Until now, the acclaimed title had never been released in physical form, making this release a milestone moment for fans who’ve long wanted a tangible copy of Lara’s origin story to add to their collections.

Standard and Collector’s Editions Offer Something for Every Fan

Limited Run Games has crafted two separate physical versions of “Tomb Raider Definitive Edition” to suit different types of collectors.

The Standard Edition includes the physical Nintendo Switch 2 game, packaged with an exclusive game booklet.

The Collector’s Edition goes several steps further, bundling in everything from the Standard Edition alongside a tea crate-styled Steelcase to protect the game, a Pry Axe keychain for on-the-go adventurers, the game’s soundtrack on CD, and a map of Yamatai to guide fans through Lara’s journey.

Both editions are available for pre-order now on the Limited Run Games website, but the window won’t stay open long. Fans hoping to guarantee their copy need to lock in their purchase before 11:59 p.m. EST on Sunday, August 2 — after that, the opportunity disappears.

For collectors and longtime Tomb Raider fans alike, this marks a rare chance to own a physical piece of one of gaming’s most celebrated survival stories, but only for those who act before time runs out.
