The year may have only just begun, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t new gaming experiences for PS5 players to enjoy. With games like Yakuza Kiwami 3 and High on Life 2, there are already plenty of solid games to experience in 2026. That includes Prize Fighter – Heavyweight Edition, a remaster of the classic Sega CD game.
What is Prize Fighter?
Originally developed by Digital Pictures, the classic Sega game Prize Fighter returns with Prize Fighter – Heavyweight Edition, a remaster developed and published by Screaming Villains. The new version of the full-motion video game has been “rebuilt from the ground up,” and now includes 4K video, as well as other improvements and features.
Here is a trailer and description of Prize Fighter – Heavyweight Edition, giving PS5 players a glimpse of what to expect from the game’s boxing tale:
“Prize Fighter – Heavyweight Edition takes you closer than a ringside seat – it puts you right in the game. In this remastered Digital Pictures classic, you’re the one slugging it out with the best boxers in the world.
“With your fists in view, you can throw any punch, anytime. A jab. A hook. An uppercut! Land a blow and watch your opponent reel.”
As seen in the trailer, Prize Fighter – Heavyweight Edition is a full FMV experience. The bouts are staged by Ron Stein, who was responsible for choreographing the fights in the critically acclaimed boxing films Raging Bull and Rocky.
Prize Fighter – Heavyweight Edition is available now for PS5 on the PS Store.
This is just one of many great PS5 games to release this month. This isn’t even the first remaster to release this month. Ubisoft released Rayman: 30th Anniversary Edition, which includes five versions of the original game. There have also been a couple of remakes released for the PS5, including Yakuza Kiwami 3 and Dragon Quest VII Reimagined.
