In this rerelease of the 1987 classic NES game, the most feared great white of the oceans makes its return. Those players brave enough to face this pixelated man-eater will be able to steer their boat around the ocean and take on a variety of different terrifying sea creatures as they search for the iconic shark.
Players will be able to get ready for approaching danger thanks to the bleeping of the sonar receiver, but if the ship is struggling against the dangers of the deep, then it can be upgraded for different vessels with better firepower and a much better fighting chance.
The first of the two physical editions of the game is Jaws: Retro Edition. This is available for the PS5 and Switch and includes a physical copy of the game and an 8-page booklet.
