SiN: Reloaded Gets a PS5 Physical Edition

Imagine launching your debut shooter the same month as Half-Life. That’s the rough luck Ritual Entertainment drew in 1998 with SiN — a cyberpunk FPS reviewers praised for its interactive levels and area-specific damage modelling, but which got buried alive by Valve’s juggernaut. Nearly three decades later, Nightdive Studios’ KEX-engine remaster SiN: Reloaded gave it a second chance — and now it’s getting the ultimate seal of legitimacy for preservation-minded collectors: a disc.

Limited Run Games, in partnership with publisher Atari, has announced a PS5 physical edition of the remaster. Pre-orders open October 22 at noon ET and run through November 22 at 11:59 p.m. ET, with shipping scheduled for January 26, 2027. The standard edition costs $29.99 USD — roughly $42 CAD. And here’s the refreshing part: it’s an open pre-order, not a numbered Limited Run release, so there’s no manufactured scarcity race. You’ve got the full month to make up your mind — and as LRG itself notes, skipping it won’t break anyone’s complete numbered set.

What’s on the disc? The full remaster package: 4K visuals (up to 144fps per the feature list), modernized controls, a complete balance overhaul, save states, and the ability to flip between the enhanced presentation and the original SiN Gold look whenever you like. It also includes the Wages of SiN extra mission pack — and it’s region-free. Non-U.S. buyers can order directly through Clear River Games (a much kinder prospect on shipping), with the Atari store carrying it too. The boxed copy comes with a reversible-cover sleeve, exactly the kind of touch that collectors notice.

For the uninitiated: you play Col. John R. Blade, a hard-boiled mercenary investigating street crime in the future city of Freeport — a trail that leads straight to SinTEK Industries and its genetically engineered mutant army. The digital remaster launched September 24 across PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC, but this physical edition is PS5-only. I never played the original back in the day — Half-Life ate my autumn of ’98 too — so a proper disc on the shelf feels like the universe correcting an old injustice. One more piece of gaming history, pinned down in physical form.

Are you putting SiN on the shelf, or did Half-Life win you permanently back in ’98?
