PS2 Remake From 2007 Now Available for Just $2 on PS5

This marks the lowest price for the title since it launched on PS4 and PS5 on November 18, 2025. PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers already have access to it, as the game joined the tier’s classics catalogue when it debuted on the platform.

The release emulates the 2007 PS2 game, a rebuild of the 1996 adventure that introduced Lara Croft.

The PS4 and PS5 version runs the original PlayStation 2 build through emulation. Its store listing supports offline play and offers cloud streaming on PS5 and PlayStation Portal to Premium members. On the US store, it holds an average rating of 4.56 out of 5 from more than 2,300 player ratings, with 81% awarding five stars.

Tomb Raider: Anniversary first launched on PS2 and Windows PC in June 2007. Crystal Dynamics and Buzz Monkey Software developed the game, and Eidos Interactive published it. PSP, Xbox 360 and Wii versions followed later that year; an OS X port arrived in 2008, and the PS3 received it in 2011 as part of The Tomb Raider Trilogy.

The game rebuilt the 1996 Tomb Raider, which introduced Lara Croft, on an expanded version of the engine behind 2006’s Tomb Raider: Legend. It retells Lara’s hunt for the Scion artifact with redesigned levels, updated physics, and a revised story.

The game was also the second release in Crystal Dynamics’ Legend trilogy and sits first in the trilogy’s story chronology as a prequel to Legend. The same PlayStation Store promotion cuts Tomb Raider: Legend, which came to PS4 and PS5 in June 2024, by 80% to $3.99 until November 5. Tomb Raider: Underworld, the 2008 game that closed the trilogy, has not been released on the PS4 and PS5 store.

A second reimagining of the 1996 game is in development. Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis, built in Unreal Engine 5 by Crystal Dynamics and Flying Wild Hog, is scheduled for February 12, 2027, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 after a delay from its original 2026 window.
