It's long overdue,… pic.twitter.com/6WR6GxDTvV— Radec (@realradec) October 18, 2024 Like all rumors or speculation, take this with a grain of salt. As of this writing, the PS4 version of Ape Escape 2 is still listed on the U.S. PSN store. Additionally, a PS5 version has yet to be announced or listed. However, it should be noted that a similar situation happened with the recent Siren PS5 version, so it’s definitely a possibility. Like other PS4 versions using PlayStation’s older emulator, Ape Escape 2 suffers some major performance issues on PS5. Players have reported severe flickering, as well as textures not loading in properly. If a port using PlayStation’s new and improved emulator is release, this should fix those issues. Several games have already been brought to PlayStation’s updated PS2 emulator. Titles like Tomb Raider: Legend, Sly Cooper, and Siren have all received new versions for PS5. However, tech experts Digital Foundry found several issues with its updated emulator including poor upscaling, and some glaring bugs that hinder the re-releases. Much of these games are included in the PS Plus Game Catalog available for Premium subscribers. The most recent additions include cult classic horror games Dino Crisis, and Siren. While Siren is available to purchase separately, Dino Crisis is only available for PS Plus Premium subscribers.
