A bundling of classic superhero video games is coming up fast. The Marvel MaXimum Collection lands for consoles and PC this month.
MaXimum MARVEL
To put it mildly, Marvel Comics has a long history with video games. There’ve been interactive experiences starring the likes of the X-Men and Spider-Man for decades, stretching way back to the NES and arcades of the format’s golden era.
Not all of those games are that easy to find though, especially today. A few in with that lot are some of the most popular Marvel games of all time too, making the situation all that much more puzzling. Hang on though, because Limited Run Games, Marvel Games, and Konami Digital Entertainment are about to see to that deficit.
Just revealed a short time ago, the Marvel MaXimum Collection will include a bevy of classics, most of which are indeed pretty tough to find. Highlights include the arcade versions of both X-Men and Captain America and the Avengers, along with multiple versions of 90s-era Spidey gems, and even the Silver Surfer NES game.
Coming to digital and physical formats
This being Limited Run Games, you bet that MARVEL MaXimum Collection will be getting both digital and physical releases. As usual with LRG though, those boxed copies will be, uh, limited in release. It also looks as though they’ll be exclusive to the company’s online shop, which should also come as no shock.
The collection of classics will officially launch in digital format on March 27th, for the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC (via Steam). That mentioned physical version will post on the same date, though only for pre-order. It will be available for all platforms except the PC (natch’). Fans can look for the advance sales period to run through May 24th, 2026, though when the boxed edition might actually ship, we’re not sure.
What we do know though, is that the boxed versions of the game will come packing some extras. Limited Run Games does do that on occasion, and it looks like MARVEL MaXimum Collection will indeed be stocked with bonuses.
In with each physical “Standard Edition” copy for the Switch, PS5, and Xbox will be:
- Foil Cover Sheet
- Manual
- Sprites Sticker Sheet
