Sony reveal the 20 games the PlayStation Classic will come pre-loaded with

Sony has revealed the 20 games set to come pre-loaded on the hotly-anticipated PlayStation Classic - and there's some good news for retro gaming fans out there.

Launched in an attempt to muscle in on the retro revival Nintendo has been enjoyed with the NES Mini and SNES Mini, the console is arriving just in time for Christmas.

This updated version of the console will come complete with two controllers, making it a must-have for anyone with rose-tinted memories of years spent playing games full of loading screens and blocky graphics back in the late 90s.

And while fans already knew the PlayStation Classic would come complete with Final Fantasy 7, Ridge Racer 4 and Tekken 3, there's good news elsewhere too.

According to an official release from Sony, the console will also include the original Grand Theft Auto along with treasured classics like Ray Man, Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, Twisted Metal and Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey.

The full list of games reads as follows:

  • Battle Arena Toshinden
  • Cool Boarders 2
  • Destruction Derby
  • Final Fantasy VII
  • Grand Theft Auto
  • Intelligent Qube
  • Jumping Flash!
  • Metal Gear Solid
  • Mr. Driller
  • Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey
  • Rayman
  • Resident Evil Director's Cut
  • Revelations: Persona
  • Ridge Racer Type 4
  • Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo
  • Syphon Filter
  • Tekken 3
  • Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six
  • Twisted Metal
  • Wild Arms

The PlayStation Classic will offer enhanced graphics, quicker load times and a selection of some of the best 32-bit games ever made.

The console is also compatible with your old discs, making this a must-have for anyone with a PS1 game collection gathering dust.
