Sly
Cooper
and
the
Thievius
Raccoonus
seems
to
be
doing
very
well
for
itself
according
to
a
new
report.

Sly
Cooper
and
the
Thievius
Raccoonus
hit
PlayStation
Plus
Premium
a
short
while
ago
as
part
of
a
wave
of
PS2
titles
using
a
new
emulator.

I
reviewed
it,
and
found
that
not
only
is
the
emulation
solid
but
Sly
Cooper
also
sticks
kicks
raccoon
ass
in
2024.

It
seems
other
people
think
the
same
thing,
too.

According
to
the
folk
at
True
Trophies,
they
used
their
partnership
with
GameInsights
to
analyse
3.1
million
active
PSN
accounts
to
figure
out
that
Sly
Cooper
is
now
the
number
1
most
played
PlayStation
Premium
game,
beating
out
previous
record
holder
The
Legend
of
Dragoon.

Based
on
the
data
provided,
True
Trophies
believes
Sly
Cooper
and
his
gang
of
criminal
masterminds
managed
to
draw
in
2.5%
more
players
than
The
Legend
of
Dragoon
did
in
its
launch
week.
Not
a
massive
margin,
but
a
win
is
a
win.

They
went
on
to
say
that
Tomb
Raider
Legend,
which
launched
alongside
Sly
Cooper,
has
also
done
well,
claiming
3rd
place
behind
The
Legend
of
Dragoon,
but
that
Sly
saw
39.66%
more
players
than
it
managed.
Keep
in
mind
that
Tomb
Raider
Legend
is
much
more
expensive
than
Sly
Cooper,
though.

Another
point
of
comparison
comes
from
the
ratings:

7.2k
players
have
dropped
in
to
leave
a
rating
for
Sly
Cooper’s
first
game,
giving
him
a
full
five
stars
in
the
process.
Tomb
Raider
Legend
has
only
drawn
in
1.4k
in
ratings.

As
a
way
to
provide
some
context,
True
Trophies
did
point
out
that
there’s
a
big
gap
between
a
successful
Premium
game
and
a
successful
PS
Plus
game
overall.
According
to
their
data,
of
all
the
games
added
to
PS
Plus
and
Premium
in
2024
so
far,
Sly
Cooper
ranks
8th
behind
Animal
Well
and
ahead
of
Dredge.

Dave
the
Diver
holds
first
place,
with

Red
Red
Redemption
2
in
second.

It’s
probably
not
going
to
be
enough
Sony
to
bring
back
Sly
Cooper
for
a
new
game,
in
other
words,
but
its
relative
success
will
hopefully
mean
we
get
to
see
Sly
2
and
Sly
3
added
to
the
service
in
the
coming
months.
I
cannot
wait.
