The PlayStation 2, arguably the most beloved PlayStation console, continues to hold a special place in gamers’ hearts. Boasting record-breaking sales and a library of iconic titles, the PS2 era remains a golden age for many. This week, three classic PS2 games – Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Sly 2: Band of Thieves, and Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves – have been re-released on both PS4 and PS5, bringing a welcome surprise for fans.
These titles are available for individual purchase at $10 each or as part of the PlayStation Plus Premium subscription, the highest tier of Sony’s online service. While new additions to the Classics Catalog sometimes require a Premium subscription, many are available for individual purchase. What sets this re-release apart is the inclusion of a brand-new trophy system for each game.
This is a notable addition, as not all Classics Catalog releases feature trophy support. Even more exciting for trophy hunters is that each game now boasts a coveted Platinum Trophy, a feature often absent in re-released classics. This addition has sparked considerable enthusiasm among PlayStation fans, with many expressing their excitement online.
Trophy Details for Each Game
Each game features a unique trophy list, providing players with new challenges and achievements to unlock. Here’s a breakdown of the trophy distribution for each title:
-
Sly 2: Band of Thieves: 35 trophies total, including 1 Platinum, 4 Gold, 16 Silver, and 14 Bronze.
