Psychonauts thrusts players into a third-person psychic odyssey across 13 incredibly unique levels: three set in the real world and 10 set inside the mental worlds of misfits, monsters and madmen. Once inside a mind, players rise in rank by collecting figments of imagination; sorting through emotional baggage; clearing out mental cobwebs and cracking open memory vaults. Players also earn psychic powers like telekinesis, invisibility, pyrokinesis and clairvoyance as they progress through the game.
Featuring a humorous storyline filled with unforgettable characters and non-linear gameplay of incredible depth, Psychonauts offers players multiple paths through wildly imaginative settings. Along the way, players must conquer an array of challenging puzzles with alternate solutions that tailor themselves to a player's own strengths and abilities.
Double Fine is celebrating its 25th anniversary as a studio this year and the longtime partners and creatives at iam8bit have prepared the ultimate gift with a special vinyl reissue (first pressed on vinyl back in 2016) that also celebrates the 20th anniversary of one of the studio’s most important, Psychonauts.
A loving reissue of the game’s soundtrack on vinyl is on the way with an anniversary worthy new addition. This time around, iam8bit has prepared a special 2xLP that, alongside the original soundtrack, features the Psychonauts cinematic score pressed on vinyl for the first time.
Double Fine’s psychedelic platformer collect-a-thon, Psychonauts, graced gamers’ minds 20 years ago with a whirlwind of trippy visuals, razor-sharp writing, and playful, energetic music. Way back in 2016, fans of iam8bit’s premium vinyl releases might remember the company’s first product collaboration with Double Fine on the single LP release of the Psychonauts soundtrack. Now, for the first time, a second disc featuring music from the game’s cutscenes and a medley of themes will be included in this release, making for the definitive way to hear Peter McConnell’s delightful soundtrack.
The Psychonauts 2xLP (20th Anniversary Edition) includes special album art from Lunar Saloon and a brand new celebratory obi strip with artwork from Ollie Hoff. The 2xLP comes on audiophile-approved Classic Black Vinyl, ensuring the best listening experience for a game that has earned a tremendously important legacy. This is another collaboration between Double Fine and iam8bit that players won’t want to miss.
Starting today, fans can pre-order the Psychonauts 2xLP (20th Anniversary Edition) for $42.99, with shipping to begin in Q1 2026.
