There’s a TimeSplitters 2 Easter egg in PlayStation 4 first-person shooter Homefront: The Revolution that many of you will be familiar with: it allows you to play a couple of levels from the legendary PS2 game. But actually, there’s more: it was revealed on Twitter over the weekend that developers actually snuck the entire original Free Radical release into the title – but its cheat code was lost to time.
Now, five years later, it’s been discovered. Here’s how to play the entirety of TimeSplitters 2, in 4K, within Homefront: The Revolution:
Story Mode
L2+Up, L2+Up, Down, L2+Right, R2+Left, R2+Circle, L2+Triangle, L2+Triangle, R2+Square, L2+X
Arcade Mode
L2+R2+Left, L2+R2+Down, L2+R2+Left, L2+R2+Circle, R2+Left, L2+R2+Left, L2+R2+Down, L2+R2+Triangle, R2+Square, L2+X
Challenge Mode
R2+Circle, L2+R2+Left, L2+R2+Circle, L2+R2+Down, L2+Right, L2+Up, L2+Triangle, L2+R2+X, R2+Square, L2+X
So, there you have it – that cheap copy of Homefront: The Revolution you snagged from the PS Store for less than a cup of coffee is now absolutely worth something. Seriously, though, let us know if you’re planning to give this a go – many had been hoping for a TimeSplitters 2 port on contemporary consoles, and here it is.

I’d like a full on remake for ps5, with trophy support, obviously. Great game, but I’m sure my memories are somewhat rose tinted.
Read about this the other day. I used to love Timesplitters, but I don't own Homefront sadly.
Apparently the hidden game doesn't play too well though.
Might well pick up Homefront when on PSN sale next time then.
I'm hearing that the Easter egg arcade machine you play from is quite near the end of the game though.
Is it a slog to get to anyone know? And will the game remember the unlocks or do they need to be entered every time?
Used to play TS 2 on my GameCube back in the day, and it was fab!
Oh wow, this is one of my favourite games of all time. Might have to seen out Homefront!
So strange they did this when they easily could've make money selling this remaster on the ps store and Xbox store.
I'm sure I've got this on disc ,may have to dig it out cheers.
Is this true??? Because TimeSplitters 2 was my most played game on my PS2 Well my favourite PS2 game to
Madness that not only did they hide the entire game within another game, but then somehow lost the code!!?
I loved Timesplitters! But this is just ridiculous.
Woah! Thats awesome! Been a LOOONG timd sincd ive seen a... Cheat code! It feels....nice. i was obsessed with TS2 back in the ps2 days.
I miss throwing bricks through windows
A game within a game is always a great bonus.
That moment when people only care to play your game when there's a better game in it.
Was it TS2 that had the arcade games in it? Then you could be playing a within a game, within a game within a game
Homefront is on PlayStation now, so I’ll download and give it a go.
The original game on PS3 had some freezing issues. I know that the disc copy I had was unplayable past a certain point and this was not uncommon. It’s lucky that this is tucked away in the sequel and not the original, as I believe it was disc only on the PS3.
The irony being the free game is 100% better than the game you have to buy to be able to play said free game.
Thanks for the tip! I'd rather wait for an official standalone remaster though.
Luckily got a series x and a copy of timesplitters 2 on the original Xbox
Does this work on the free trial version of homefront on the psn store?
