Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus appears to be doing very nicely for itself in keeping with a brand new report.
Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus hit PlayStation Plus Premium a short time in the past as a part of a wave of PS2 titles utilizing a brand new emulator. I reviewed it, and found that not only is the emulation solid but Sly Cooper also sticks kicks raccoon ass in 2024.
It appears different individuals assume the identical factor, too. According to the folk at True Trophies, they used their partnership with GameInsights to analyse 3.1 million lively PSN accounts to determine that Sly Cooper is now the number one most performed PlayStation Premium sport, beating out earlier document holder The Legend of Dragoon.
Based mostly on the information offered, True Trophies believes Sly Cooper and his gang of prison masterminds managed to attract in 2.5% extra gamers than The Legend of Dragoon did in its launch week. Not a large margin, however a win is a win.
They went on to say that Tomb Raider Legend, which launched alongside Sly Cooper, has additionally performed nicely, claiming third place behind The Legend of Dragoon, however that Sly noticed 39.66% extra gamers than it managed. Remember the fact that Tomb Raider Legend is way more costly than Sly Cooper, although.
One other level of comparability comes from the scores: 7.2k players have dropped in to leave a rating for Sly Cooper’s first game, giving him a full 5 stars within the course of. Tomb Raider Legend has solely drawn in 1.4k in scores.
As a means to supply some context, True Trophies did level out that there’s a giant hole between a profitable Premium sport and a profitable PS Plus sport total. In response to their information, of all of the video games added to PS Plus and Premium in 2024 to this point, Sly Cooper ranks eighth behind Animal Effectively and forward of Dredge. Dave the Diver holds first place, with Red Red Redemption 2 in second.
It’s most likely not going to be sufficient Sony to convey again Sly Cooper for a brand new sport, in different phrases, however its relative success will hopefully imply we get to see Sly 2 and Sly 3 added to the service within the coming months. I can not wait.
