Mineko's Night Market PS5 Physical Edition Comes Bundled with a Real Cookbook

Mineko's Night Market – the cosy, Ghibli-inspired crafting and trading game – is getting a physical PS5 release, and it comes with an actual printed cookbook bundled in the box.

The physical edition pairs the game with a cookbook tied to the food and recipes featured in the game itself, making it one of the more unusual collector's extras in the cosy game space. No pricing or exact release date was confirmed in the source beyond the announcement of the physical release.

Mineko's Night Market launched digitally in 2023 on PC and later came to consoles. Developed by Meowza Games and published by Team17, it draws heavily on Japanese festival culture and Studio Ghibli aesthetics — players run a market stall, craft goods, and explore a cat-filled island. The cosy game genre has seen a surge in physical collector editions as publishers look to give fans something tangible beyond a standard disc release.

The cookbook bundle is the kind of extra that tends to land well with the cosy game crowd, who often engage with the lifestyle and aesthetic side of these titles as much as the gameplay itself. No word yet on whether the physical edition will be limited or widely available.
