Launch Game

The PlayStation launched in Europe on 29 September 1995. Games tagged here were available on or around that date, so they are usually the first pressing of each title and often carry early packaging quirks.

Things to look for on launch copies:

  • Early case and spine artwork that was later revised
  • Original-release hologram and sticker variations
  • Differences from the later Platinum re-releases

Launch titles are a small group, so every release here is worth a close look at the details.
