Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus appears to be doing very nicely for itself in line 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 located that not solely is the emulation strong however Sly Cooper additionally sticks kicks raccoon ass in 2024.
It appears different individuals assume the identical factor, too. In accordance with the folks 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 #1 most performed PlayStation Premium recreation, beating out earlier document holder The Legend of Dragoon.
Primarily based on the info supplied, True Trophies believes Sly Cooper and his gang of legal masterminds managed to attract in 2.5% extra gamers than The Legend of Dragoon did in its launch week. Not an enormous margin, however a win is a win.
They went on to say that Tomb Raider Legend, which launched alongside Sly Cooper, has additionally executed nicely, claiming third place behind The Legend of Dragoon, however that Sly noticed 39.66% extra gamers than it managed. Take into account that Tomb Raider Legend is rather more costly than Sly Cooper, although.
One other level of comparability comes from the scores: 7.2k gamers have dropped in to depart a ranking for Sly Cooper’s first recreation, 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 an enormous hole between a profitable Premium recreation and a profitable PS Plus recreation total. In accordance with their knowledge, of all of the video games added to PS Plus and Premium in 2024 thus far, Sly Cooper ranks eighth behind Animal Nicely and forward of Dredge. Dave the Diver holds first place, with Purple Purple Redemption 2 in second.
It’s most likely not going to be sufficient Sony to convey again Sly Cooper for a brand new recreation, 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’t wait.
