Two Classic ’90s Adventure Games Are Getting Special ‘Big Box’ Releases For Xbox Consoles
Limited Run Games has announced special physical “Big Box” releases for two classic 1990s adventure games: Myst and Riven, coming to Xbox consoles. The “Big Box” format is a nostalgic callback to retro gaming packaging, offering premium presentation for these beloved titles from the adventure game genre’s golden age.
While physical game releases for Xbox have become increasingly scarce—comprising less than 5% of US physical game sales in 2026—Limited Run Games continues to provide collectors and enthusiasts with curated physical versions of notable titles. Both Myst and Riven are seminal works in adventure gaming, with Riven notably recognized as the best-selling PC game of 1997.
This announcement reflects ongoing collector demand for physical media despite the industry’s broader shift toward digital distribution. Limited Run Games specializes in limited-run physical releases across multiple platforms, with these Xbox versions representing an effort to introduce classic games to modern console players while catering to preservation-minded enthusiasts. The special editions demonstrate that niche demand for physical retro releases remains viable even as the mainstream market continues its digital transition.
