Partially justifying its inflated price point, Arcade Archives 2 Ridge Racer will be the second of Hamster’s emulation efforts to include a Platinum Trophy. Its port of The King of Fighters ’98 also previously included one of Sony’s top pots.

As is often the case with the Japanese dev’s output, you won’t need to work too hard to unlock it: just clear all of the modes and upload your scores to the leaderboards and you should be good.

Of course, the game features rewind functionality if you do happen to find those higher difficulty runs challenging.

It’s worth noting that the PS4 version of Ridge Racer does not include a Platinum Trophy, so keep that in mind before you choose which version to buy. The last-gen edition only has six gongs overall, compared to 21 on the PS5.

If you do get the PS4 edition, then you will be able to upgrade to the PS5 version for just $2.99, so you’re not completely out of luck if you haven’t made the switch to Sony’s new system yet.
