AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Sunsoft's cult classic 1998 PlayStation 1 action-adventure game T.R.A.G.: Tactical Rescue Assault Group has officially been ported to the PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch 2 for $11.99.
Retro gaming enthusiasts and preservationists have another win today as the long-forgotten PlayStation 1 action adventure title T.R.A.G.: Tactical Rescue Assault Group makes its unexpected return. Originally released by Sunsoft in the late nineties, the game is now available on both the PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch 2 digital storefronts. For players who love digging into the lesser-known corners of gaming history, this release offers a fascinating look at an era when developers were still figuring out how to handle 3D spaces and cinematic storytelling.
Originally launched in North America under the name T.R.A.G. and internationally known as Hard Edge, the game drew clear inspiration from the survival horror mechanics popularized by early Resident Evil titles. It features multiple endings tied to player choices, plus a unique mechanic that lets you swap between four different characters on the fly. Each operative comes equipped with specific gear like night vision or combat knives, meaning you have to rotate your squad strategically to solve puzzles and uncover hidden secrets across the map.
Priced at $11.99, this new port offers a low-barrier entry point for younger players curious about the roots of modern third-person action games, as well as nostalgia-driven millennials looking to replay a piece of their childhood. As digital storefronts continue to play a vital role in game preservation, seeing these overlooked gems get a second life on current hardware is a welcome trend.
