How will Planet Coaster be released?

Enthusiast1 · Dec 18, 2015

Greetings, I was wondering how this game is going to be released. It's spiritual predecessor, RCT3, was available by DVD in stores, as well as Platinum edition being available on Steam. Other than some discussion on Steam support (Using keys) and different OS support, I've yet to find the answer. Installer through private email? Pick up from local store? Anyway, thank you to anyone who responds to this post, whether it be with suggestions or the answer. Have a good one!

Educated guess, but I'd say download from the Frontier store and Steam.

I do so hope that there is a DVD version as well.

This, although I kinda hope it's just a Steam Key inside. It's pretty nice to have all of my games in the same place.

I kinda doubt there will be a DVD at all. Most likely going to be a digital copy from their site you download, or from steam from the looks of the last ED release.

I bought Fallout 4 on a DVD... and I still needed to download 25 GB, because a DVD just can store 4,7 GB. So if this game is about to get over 10 GB, a DVD would be very useless for people with bad internet connections like me.

I think Frontier will release Planet Coaster through a custom online support platform, specially made for Planet Coaster, that includes the online features of the game, and a system to share user saved creations (ride blueprints, saved sets of scenery).

We have discussed this before in an older thread and Frontier has already mentioned that their plans are currently an "Online Only" release platform at this time.

I recently bought Just Cause 3 on DVD - It took 5 of them which expanded to 51Gb, and still activated on steam.
