  • Sony's PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog is expanding with nostalgic titles.
  • The latest addition rumored to be joining the collection? TimeSplitters

Key Information:

  • Release: TimeSplitters has received a rating for both PS5 and PS4 in Taiwan, hinting at its inclusion in Sony's PlayStation Plus Classics Catalog.
  • Publisher: The game is associated with the now-defunct studio Free Radical Design. No new titles from this developer are expected.

Why It Matters:

  • This marks an effort by Sony to tap into a library of classic games for modern consoles.
  • TimeSplitters, once a highly acclaimed franchise, will offer fans an opportunity to revisit and relive the experience on contemporary hardware.

What's Next?

  • Release Timing: Rumors suggest that TimeSplitters may be released as part of next month's PS2 classics drop. However, this is speculative at the moment.
  • Fan Reaction: The re-release of classic games has historically been well-received by fans seeking to play older titles on newer platforms.

What's your preferred platform to play the game?

I want all of the classics catalog that was made available on the PS3 store to come back. I understand some games have had remasters. But I'd love to see they rest on the PS5.

It can't be that hard, right? Is it just making trophies available for them?

Are all games on playstation required to have trophies now?

[–] Omegamanthethird@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Not required. But it could be something they have to decide before throwing them on the store. I can't think of any other reason not to do it other than licensing.
