Sony’s continuing to bring a hearty helping of emulated classics to PS5 and PS4 courtesy of its PS Plus Premium subscription, and alongside Resistance Retribution, it’ll be adding Jet Moto 2 from 20th February. The original game in the SingleTrac series is already available on the Japanese giant’s contemporary consoles, but this sequel is much more ambitious, with zanier course designs including an active volcano and a dilapidated American city.

For those not familiar with the Jet Moto games, it’s a little bit like Wave Race, except you divide your time between cutting through water and hovering above roads. As an arcade racer from the 32-bit era, the controls can be a bit finnicky, but there’s a lot to like here if you’re a fan of the genre, and we especially enjoy the extreme sports angle the outing adopts. Obviously, we’re eager to see Sony emulate more of its catalogue, but next week’s update is at least a strong showing.
A true PlayStation veteran, Sammy's covered the world of PS gaming for years, with an enormous Trophy count to prove it. He also likes tennis games way more than you.
I still wonder how Sony go about choosing what PS1 games to bring to PS5. I'm sure someone is looking forward to this, but the PS1 has such a strong library of games and Sony seem to pick the least interesting ones.
@Bentleyma I think they're just selecting the ones they own outright. I guess third-parties are less happy to lend their IP.
I actually really enjoyed playing the first title (and a pretty easy plat also), which I didnt play back in the PS1 days.
Will probably give this a go!
Love to see articles written solely to meet quotas and nothing else. Your «source» for the article announcing thiis coming to PS Plus, is just the article from yesterday that announced it was coming to PS Plus.
I use to play this a ton on the PS1. Now about we get Digimon world 1-3 in premium.
@DarkTron I mean, some people don't look at those lists so I thought it was an interesting thing to extrapolate.
We don't have quotas here!
Jet Moto needs to be revived. The world needs more fun, high octane arcade racers.
This is cool, I loved Jet Moto back in the PS1 days. Now I'm wondering which version of Jet Moto 2 they're using for this rerelease-- the original or the championship edition?
I agree. I enjoyed earning the platinum in the first one and will probably do the 2nd one as well.
Does it have trophies? Does the first one? Not been on my ps5 for a while as I've gotten back into the ps3 backlogs. I played and plat rally cross which was a blast. I hope they bring rally cross 2 next
@MrGilly69 Seeing as it's a Sony IP both games will have Trophies.
@Areus I thought that might be the case. Cheers
