TL;DR DreamWorks Shrek 2 Remastered is out now on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, Switch, and PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) for US$29.99. It’s a rebuild of the 2004 movie game by Aspyr, with up to four-player co-op online, locally, or both. And yes, its reveal trailer was a parody of the GTA 6 trailer.
If you grew up renting PS2 games or watching Shrek 2 on repeat on DVD, this one is pure nostalgia. Aspyr announced the remaster in October, only a few weeks before launch, and it’s landing nine days before GTA 6. Bold timing, pero sakto, because not everyone is spending this month in Vice City.
What you get
- The 2004 adventure, rebuilt for current consoles and PC
- Up to four-player co-op, either online, on the same screen, or a mix of both
- 4K output on PC, PS5, Xbox, and Switch 2 in docked mode
- A small download: about 5GB on Switch, a nice break from all the 200GB games this month
Four-player couch co-op is the real selling point here. It’s an easy game to play with younger siblings, your kids, or the barkada during the Christmas break.
Price and platforms
The standard price is US$29.99 on all platforms. On PS5, the game unlocked on November 10 at 5:00 PM UTC, which was 1:00 AM on November 11 in the Philippines. Some stores ran a 10% pre-order discount, and on Steam it lasts until November 17, so PC players still have a few days to grab it cheaper.
Think of it as comfort food in game form: short, funny, and best played with others. Kung gusto mo ng break bago ang GTA 6 week, this could be it.
