The Original Space Invaders Blasts onto PS5, PS4 on Xmas Day

Hamster Corporation, known for its work preserving classic games under the “Arcade Archives” label, has just released its 500th title: the legendary 1978 game Space Invaders from Taito. It’s available now on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, just in time for Christmas.

This update might not be a huge leap forward, but it doesn’t need much explanation. Space Invaders is as iconic as Super Mario, Pac-Man, and Tetris – it’s a game practically everyone recognizes.

The game is available in both its original black-and-white and color versions. It costs $7.99 or £5.79 on PlayStation 4, and $9.99 or £7.39 on PlayStation 5.

Okay, so the updated version costs a bit more, and that’s because it’s part of the Arcade Archives 2 series. It’s not just the game, though – you also get extra stuff like a Time Attack mode. Plus, if you’re a trophy hunter like me, the PS5 version actually has a Platinum Trophy, which is a nice bonus!
