History [edit]

When Sony introduced the program for PlayStation in March 1997, games could become Greatest Hits titles after selling at least 150,000 copies and being on the market place for at least a yr.^{[2] [three]} Minimum sales required eventually rose to 250,000.^[4] When the program came to PlayStation two in 2002, games could become Greatest Hits titles after selling at least 400,000 copies and being on the market place for at least one twelvemonth.^[5] Suggested retail prices of Greatest Hits titles were initially $24.99,^[iii] but they at present typically retail for $19.99. Though Sony-developed games are well-nigh guaranteed to eventually become Greatest Hits titles by coming together their sales and historic period requirements, 3rd party developers are not required to release their titles with a Greatest Hits label even if said titles meet the criteria. Additionally, Sony allows 3rd party developers some flexibility in the pricing of their own Greatest Hits titles, but most of them stick to the agreed-upon suggested retail cost. Games that are multi-1000000 sellers may become Greatest Hits titles much later than 9 months to maximize profits. It is too a common exercise for a game to re-release on the Greatest Hits label at a shut proximity to the release of that game's sequel or follow-upwardly.

In 2006, Sony extended the Greatest Hits program to the PlayStation Portable.^[6] To qualify, a title must be on the market place for at to the lowest degree ix months and have sold 250,000 copies or more. The Greatest Hits price for PlayStation Portable games typically begins at $19.99.

On July 28, 2008, the programme was introduced on the PlayStation iii. A PlayStation 3 game must be on the marketplace for 10 months and sell at least 500,000 copies to meet the Greatest Hits criteria. PlayStation 3 Greatest Hits titles currently sell at $29.99.

Sony announced the launch of Greatest Hits on PlayStation 4 in Mexico, Canada, and the Usa, renamed PlayStation Hits, on June 19, 2018. As with PS3 Greatest Hits releases, they characteristic red-colored packaging and a red banner on their box fine art. PlayStation Hits pricing will also be available on PlayStation Store.^{[7] [8]}

"Special edition" Greatest Hits [edit]

While Greatest Hits titles are usually just a re-release of the original game with altered packaging and a lower price, occasionally a game is given a "special edition" of its original version, released under the Greatest Hits label. Usually these additions are small bonuses, such equally the inclusion of bugfixes, new game demos or soundtrack CDs, or slight improvements such equally calculation analog command or vibration functionality to games that did not have these features in their original releases.
