A beloved PS2 classic on PS Plus Premium might be getting a free upgrade in October 2024, if a rating board entry is anything to go by. A few days ago, Siren fans got excited when the game got a fresh rating in Korea, leading to speculations of a new release. We’re here to dash those hopes because that rating has turned out to be an enhanced version of the 2003 game.
PS2’s Siren is already part of PS Plus Premium but runs on an old emulator
PS Deals picked up a fresh entry for Siren from PS Store’s back-end. According to the leaked description, an enhanced version of the game running on Sony’s improved PS2 emulator will release on October 15, 2024. This version will have rewind, quick save, and custom video filters features in addition to up-rendering and trophies.
The version of Siren that’s currently part of PS Plus Premium only offers up-rendering and trophies, and is a PS4 game. The newer version will run natively on the PS5.
We also want to clarify that rumors of Siren 2 being rated for a rerelease are false. Only one new rating — which is the one we’re reporting on right now — has appeared online thus far, and a funky translation from Korean to English has some folks falsely reporting that Siren 2 is on its way. Not yet.
Those who already have Siren in their catalogs or purchased a standalone version should get a free upgrade, but given Sony’s tendency to surprise us, wait for an official announcement before getting your hopes up.
