Direct answer
- Best of PlayStation Network Vol. 1 is a Blu-ray compilation released in 2013 that includes four PSN titles: Fat Princess, Sound Shapes, Tokyo Jungle, and When Vikings Attack!.
Key details and context
- Release scope: The set was released for PS3 on Blu-ray and did not include Vita versions or DLC packs; it required an HDD install for the PS3 versions [IGN overview and game databases reference the same four titles and the Blu-ray format].[4][5]
- Content and reception: The compilation collects high-profile PSN titles to make them accessible without digital storefront access; individual game reception varied by title and reviewer, with attention to how well the disc gathers stand-out PSN experiences.[7][4]
- Availability history: The product has appeared in listings and databases over the years, including retailer pages and game databases, but as a physical bundle, it’s been more commonly referenced for historical interest than for ongoing availability.[3][8]
Where to check current news
- Major gaming outlets (IGN, Metacritic, GameSpot-style pages) often archive announcements around the time of releases and any re-releases or remasters. Look for “Best of PlayStation Network Vol. 1 news” on IGN or Metacritic for archival articles.[4][7]
