PlayStation fans are excited to see a PS2 classic return to modern consoles.
PlayStation enthusiasts who have been eager to revisit some older games from the PlayStation 2 era recently received good news – more of those games are making their way to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Following this announcement, the games began to be released. However, some of these PlayStation 2 games and other titles that have been brought to modern consoles have not received much attention from PlayStation. As a result, their re-releases have been somewhat low-key. One of these games is Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, a classic from the PlayStation 2 era that is now back in the PlayStation Store with some upgrades. Additionally, it may be available for free to certain PlayStation Plus subscribers.
The release of Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus for PS4 and PS5 was quietly announced in a post about this year’s Days of Play deals and promotions. The game was mentioned alongside Tomb Raider Legend and Star Wars: The Clone Wars as PlayStation 2 titles that users would soon be able to enjoy once again. While it was initially stated that the games would be accessible to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers, it turns out that anyone can purchase Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus from the PlayStation Store, without the need for a PlayStation Plus subscription. The game is priced at $9.99 for both PS4 and PS5 versions, offering modern enhancements such as up-rendering, rewind, quick save, and custom video filters.
The game description invites players to experience the thrill of being Sly Cooper, an international thief on a mission to reclaim what is rightfully his. With new features and improved gameplay, including the ability to change the camera settings for a more user-friendly experience, players can enjoy the enhanced version of this beloved classic.
