Five Nights at Freddy’s has gained immense popularity in recent years, receiving a film adaptation in 2023 and having a collection filled with over a dozen horror games. Later this year, two of its latest titles, Into the Pit and Help Wanted 2, are set to release physical editions after initially launching only in digital formats (or offering physical formats exclusively on select platforms). Both games have received positive reviews, making them a solid recommendation for fans of the franchise. Best of all, purchasing the physical edition of Into the Pit includes a nice bonus.
The physical edition of Into the Pit is anticipated to be available on June 20, while Help Wanted 2 will have physical editions for Switch and Xbox Series X around March 31 (though that date may change). Preorders are currently open ahead of their release, so consider reserving a copy if you plan to play them later this year.

The physical version of Into the Pit will finally release for PS5, Xbox, and PS4, although only the Switch version is currently available for preorder. Into the Pit represents a significant shift for the series, offering 2D side-scrolling gameplay that challenges you to solve various puzzles as you attempt to rescue your friends and family from an enigmatic horror. As a bonus, the physical edition includes a download code for the game’s official soundtrack.
If you desire to explore the game’s lore further, take a look at the Fazbear Frights 4-Book Box Set.
