Sucker Punch’s iconic stealth action platformer Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus will have a Platinum Trophy when it re-releases on PS5 and PS4 later this week, as part of Sony’s expanded emulation offering. Up until now, the Japanese giant has only offered upgraded PS1 and PSP titles as part of its PS Plus Premium subscription tier, but from tomorrow (11th June, 2024) it’ll introduce PS2 titles to the mix.
These games will be enhanced with a variety of quality-of-life improvements, including up-rendered visuals, save states, rewind, and more. But most importantly of all for enthusiasts, there’ll be a Platinum pot to unlock in Sly Cooper’s inaugural adventure.
Quality of life
This actually isn’t the first time the game has had Trophies, as the excellent PS3 compilation Sly Trilogy also added Trophies to the title. Considering how fun this game and its PS2 sequels are, though, it’s exciting to have the opportunity to unlock the Platinum all over again.

My first ever platinum was the PS3 remaster of Sly 1. Was quite a short one!
I'm really hoping for a comparison video once this comes out showing the differences between the original release, the PS3 collection and this version.
«And for individual purchase on the PS store»
Yup. You don't need to subs for PS+ Premium to play these classic.
Never played back then, i'm gonna buy it tomorrow
