Need For Speed: Rivals (SteelBook Edition)

Two cases for the price of one, and one of them is made of steel. The Need for Speed: Rivals SteelBook Edition on Xbox One bundles the Limited Edition of the game alongside an empty steelbook case, giving you the option to display it however you see fit.

This was an Amazon.de exclusive, meaning it was region-locked to the German market from a distribution standpoint. That makes it an import piece for collectors outside Europe and a genuinely uncommon find even within Germany, since Amazon exclusives from the early Xbox One launch window had limited production runs and little fanfare.

The empty steelbook is an interesting choice. Rather than housing the disc, it serves as a pure display piece, a metal companion to the standard case. For steelbook collectors who line their shelves with gleaming spines, it fills the Need for Speed slot without compromise. The Limited Edition game itself includes bonus content, so you're not losing anything by having the disc in its original case. Rivals launched alongside the Xbox One in that chaotic November 2013 window, which means a lot of these got buried under the noise of new console launches. The ones that survived sealed are the ones worth chasing.
