Yes—MOUSE: P.I. For Hire has physical editions. The Standard Edition is announced for PlayStation 5 on a physical disc and Nintendo Switch 2 on a physical game cartridge. The Mouseburg Edition adds those formats, plus an Xbox Series X disc and a boxed PC package containing a Steam code. The announced physical-release date was July 10, 2026, so it has passed as of November 2026; the official announcements confirm formats and launch pricing, but not current retailer stock. The game is a single-player, action-focused first-person shooter inspired by 1930s cartoons, developed by Fumi Games and published by PlaySide Studios. See the official FAQ and the publisher’s editions lineup for the source announcements.

What does “physical copy” mean for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire?

It depends on the platform. On PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, “physical” means a game disc. On Nintendo Switch 2, it means a game-on cartridge. The physical PC Mouseburg package is different: it is a retail box with a Steam activation code, not a computer disc.

This distinction matters if you want to avoid downloads, collect discs, or give the game as a gift. A boxed Steam code still requires a Steam account and code redemption, while a console disc or cartridge is the physical game medium announced for that console. The official material does not state whether any platform needs an additional download, day-one patch, or online connection, so do not assume those requirements from the word “physical.”

Which MOUSE: P.I. For Hire editions are physical?

The official FAQ says the game will receive two physical editions: Standard and Mouseburg. Both are scheduled for July 10, 2026, following the announced digital launch on April 16, 2026. The FAQ’s wording is explicit: “MOUSE: P.I. For Hire will see a physical release across two editions, a Standard Edition and the ‘Mouseburg Edition’, both available on July 10, 2026.”

Standard Edition

Standard is the straightforward boxed game. The PlayStation 5 version is a disc priced at an announced USD $29.99, while the Switch 2 version is a physical cartridge priced at USD $39.99. The editions announcement describes those Standard formats as globally available, although a local retailer may still limit shipping, stock, or currency.

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.

No Standard physical version is listed in the supplied announcement for Xbox Series X or PC. If a retailer labels a listing “Standard” on another platform, check the platform, publisher, and package contents rather than assuming it is one of the officially announced Standard boxes.

Mouseburg Edition

Mouseburg is the collector-oriented physical package. It includes the base game in the platform format, then adds printed and music-related items. Announced prices are USD $49.99 on PS5 and USD $59.99 on Switch 2. The Xbox Series X package is listed at GBP £49.99 or EUR €54.99, and the PC package at GBP £44.99 or EUR €49.99.

The regional list is narrower for Xbox and PC than for the console editions: the announcement lists Mouseburg PS5 and Switch 2 for the USA, Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, and Australia. Mouseburg Xbox Series X and PC are listed for Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, and Australia. Treat those as announced territories, not a guarantee that every retailer in every country will carry the box.

What is included in the Mouseburg Edition?

Mouseburg contains the base game and a set of themed collectibles:

Special offer. See more information about Outbyte and uninstall instructions. Please review EULA and Privacy policy.
  • A 7-inch vinyl record with four soundtrack tracks, including a piece by Caravan Palace.
  • A double-sided 340 mm poster: one side shows a Mouseburg map and the other shows the “Micer” pistol schematic.
  • A printed comic with two sticker sheets.
  • Thirty-three Mouseburg Baseball trading cards.
  • Three postcards.

Those quantities and measurements are product specifications from the publisher, not a claim about the game’s content or performance. The package is aimed at people who want physical memorabilia as well as a boxed copy; Standard is the simpler option if you only need the game.

Does the physical Mouseburg package include the DLC?

No. The publisher specifically says the physical Mouseburg Edition does not grant access to the DLC expansion. Buying the more expensive collector package therefore does not substitute for a separate DLC entitlement, season pass, or future expansion purchase if one is offered for your platform.

The announcement does not provide a DLC price, release date, or bundled-download procedure. Verify the store description for your region before paying for any separate add-on, and keep the edition’s “base game” description distinct from expansion access.

Is the MOUSE: P.I. For Hire soundtrack vinyl the same as the Mouseburg record?

No. The 7-inch, four-track record is one of the items packed in Mouseburg. The official FAQ separately describes a Mondo partnership for a black-and-white splatter soundtrack vinyl containing 18 original tracks by composer Patryk Scelina and “Good Mouse,” a track by Caravan Palace.

They are different products, so a listing for the separate 18-track vinyl should not be treated as proof that a Mouseburg box is included. The supplied announcement does not establish current availability for either vinyl item; check a live, region-specific listing if you are buying for the record rather than the game.

Where are the physical editions available?

The official regional breakdown is the best guide to intended distribution, but it is not a live inventory map. Standard PS5 and Switch 2 are announced globally. Mouseburg PS5 and Switch 2 cover seven broad regions—USA, Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, and Australia—while Mouseburg Xbox and PC are listed for Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, and Australia.

Before ordering, confirm four details on the retailer page:

  1. Platform: PS5, Switch 2, Xbox Series X, or PC/Steam.
  2. Edition: Standard or Mouseburg.
  3. Medium: disc, cartridge, or boxed Steam code.
  4. Region and currency: make sure the listing ships to your country and uses a code or disc region your account can use.

The official FAQ says retailer preorders are live and points readers to its region breakdown, but the official announcements do not verify a particular retailer’s stock, delivery date, or current price. Those can change after the July 10, 2026 release.

If you want… Most suitable announced version Why
The lowest announced boxed price on a console Standard PS5 USD $29.99 and a physical disc.
A cartridge for Nintendo Switch 2 Standard Switch 2 or Mouseburg Switch 2 Both use a physical game-on cartridge; Mouseburg adds collectibles.
A collector package Mouseburg on your platform Includes the vinyl, poster, comic, cards, and postcards.
An Xbox physical disc Mouseburg Xbox Series X The announced Xbox physical format is a disc; no Standard Xbox box is listed.
A boxed PC purchase Mouseburg PC It provides a Steam code in a box, not a PC disc.

For a gift, ask whether the recipient wants a redeemable Steam code or a console object they can keep and resell. For collecting, confirm that the retailer’s product photos and text list the promised extras; regional packaging can differ even when the edition name is the same.

What has and has not been confirmed about the discs and cartridges?

The official sources confirm the medium category—disc for PS5 and Xbox Series X, cartridge for Switch 2, and Steam code for PC—and identify the announced prices, regions, contents, and dates. They do not specify disc capacity, cartridge storage size, whether all game data is present on the medium, mandatory patches, installation size, backward compatibility, or offline play.

That means a physical purchase should not be described as guaranteed “complete on disc” or “playable without updates.” Those are separate technical questions that require platform-specific documentation or a retailer’s final product information. If those details determine your purchase, wait for the exact listing or publisher support information rather than inferring them from the packaging format.

What should you check before ordering a physical copy?

  1. Open the publisher’s edition information and identify the exact platform and edition name.
  2. Match the announced medium to the listing: PS5/Xbox disc, Switch 2 cartridge, or PC Steam code.
  3. Compare the retailer’s current total—including shipping, taxes, and any import charges—with the announced price.
  4. Check the territory and account compatibility, especially for a boxed PC code.
  5. Read the contents list to confirm whether the vinyl, poster, comic, cards, and postcards are included; a soundtrack listing alone is not the Mouseburg game box.
  6. Look for a separate DLC statement. Mouseburg does not include the DLC expansion according to the official FAQ.
  7. Save the order confirmation and edition name in case a retailer later changes a product page or ships a different platform SKU.

These checks are especially important because the announced July 10, 2026 date is now in the past. Release announcements establish what was planned and priced; they do not prove that a specific store still has stock.

Bottom line: does MOUSE: P.I. For Hire have a disc?

Yes, but only on the announced disc platforms. Standard and Mouseburg PS5 editions use a physical disc, and Mouseburg Xbox Series X is also a disc. Switch 2 uses a cartridge, while the Mouseburg PC package is a boxed Steam code. Standard PS5 and Switch 2 are the globally announced options; Mouseburg’s platform availability and price vary by region. For current stock, delivery, and final pricing, verify the exact retailer listing rather than relying on the original announcement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy MOUSE: P.I. For Hire on PC without downloading it?

The announced physical PC package is a box containing a Steam code, not a PC game disc. Redeeming that code gives access through Steam, and the official information supplied here does not say how much data must be downloaded or whether an internet connection is required for installation.

Is the Mouseburg vinyl a full soundtrack?

The record inside Mouseburg is a 7-inch with four tracks. A separate black-and-white splatter release described by the official FAQ has 18 original tracks, so the two vinyl products should not be confused.

What’s actually slowing this PC down?

Pick the symptom - the matching free tool is one click away.

Can I get the Mouseburg Edition in the United States?

The publisher’s regional announcement lists Mouseburg PS5 and Switch 2 for the USA, along with Canada, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, and Australia. It lists the Mouseburg Xbox and PC packages for Europe, the Middle East, East Asia, and Australia instead; confirm the retailer’s current US listing before ordering.

Does buying the collector edition unlock future story content?

No. The publisher explicitly excludes access to the DLC expansion from the physical Mouseburg package. The box includes the base game and physical collectibles, while any expansion entitlement would need to be handled separately if offered.

Product prices and availability are accurate as of the date/time indicated and are subject to change. Any price and availability information displayed on Amazon at the time of purchase will apply. Prices as of November 14, 2026 7:17 pm GMT+0530.
