Summary
A new rumor making the rounds online suggests thatApe Escape 3is coming to the Premium tier ofPlayStation Plus. The Premium tier ofPlayStation Plusincludes all the benefits associated with the Essential and Extra tiers, but what makes it stand out is access to a growing library of retro games from classic PlayStation consoles. The PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP are all represented in PS Plus Premium, with fresh titles added on a monthly basis.
This leak originates from 4Chan, and so fans should take it with a particularly massive grain of salt, but the claim has been made thatApe Escape 3is coming to PS Plus Premium. To that end,Ape Escape 2is said to be getting delisted and replaced with a superior version using the new PS2 emulator, something Sony has already done with some of its digital PS2 games. What lends more credibility to this leak is the existing age rating for a PS4 release ofApe Escape 3, which makes it seem like its debut on PS Plus is just a matter of time.
Ape Escape 3 Rumored for PS Plus Premium
Once one of Sony’s most popular franchises, there hasn’t been a new main seriesApe Escapegame since 2006’sApe Escape 3. However, the franchise washeavily represented in 2024’s Game of the YearAstro Bot, getting its own themed level and giving players the chance to rescue multiple ape-themed bots. Not only that, but multipleApe Escapegames are already available through PS Plus Premium, so it simply makes sense forApe Escape 3to eventually be added to the mix as well.
