The Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection, which features seven retro games based on the beloved film franchise, is set to be removed from digital storefronts by March 31, 2026. Fans have less than two months to secure their copies of this nostalgic bundle, available on platforms including PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Limited Run Games, the publisher behind the collection, has emphasized transparency in announcing the delisting. While the digital version will no longer be available for purchase after the cutoff date, existing owners will still have access to download the games as needed.
Currently, the collection is priced at $29.99 on Switch, PC, and Xbox, while PlayStation users can take advantage of a limited-time offer, purchasing it for just $5.99 on PS4 and PS5 until February 25 at 11:59 PM PT. However, this discount is exclusive to PlayStation Plus subscribers, and the PS4 and PS5 versions are not bundled together, which may affect some players’ trophy hunting.
Furthermore, although physical copies of the game have been discontinued, they remain available at various retailers, albeit at a higher cost compared to the digital edition.
The Jurassic Park Classic Games Collection was released in November 2023, but unfortunately, it received mixed reviews with an average score of 48. Criticism focused on the lack of additional features and the clunky gameplay experience, though a patch improved the previously restrictive rewind feature.
The collection boasts seven titles originally released between 1993 and 1995, showcasing the franchise’s early gaming era. The lineup includes:
– Jurassic Park (NES)
– Jurassic Park (Game Boy)
– Jurassic Park (SNES)
– Jurassic Park (Sega Genesis)
– Jurassic Park Part 2: The Chaos Continues (SNES)
– Jurassic Park Part 2: The Chaos Continues (Game Boy)
– Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition (Sega Genesis)
These games, primarily top-down adventures or side-scrolling platformers, are equipped with several features such as save states, a music player, filters, borders, and in-game maps, enhancing the retro experience for players.
This is not the first time a Jurassic Park game has been delisted; for instance, Telltale Games’ Jurassic Park: The Game was available until it was removed in 2018. As the digital gaming landscape evolves, fans have the opportunity to relive the legacy of these classic titles, although they must act quickly to add them to their collections before they become inaccessible.
