Type:Private
Industry:Video games
Hq Location City:London, England

Super Rare Games Limited is a video game publisher and distributor based in London, England. The company releases limited print games for the Nintendo Switch[1] which can be purchased from their website. Super Rare Games was founded by George Perkins and is currently led by Perkins, Stuart Townsend, Verity Murphy, and Lindsey Reed. On June 16, 2023, Super Rare Games announced the start of limited print games for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5.[2]

Business model

Each game published and distributed by Super Rare Games is only printed once with a hard limit on number of copies produced. New games are announced once a month. According to Perkins, the reasoning behind this is "when you release [too] much content, you lose the collectability of having a set".
