The games in the franchise span a variety of genres, primarily centered upon open world action adventure, with elements of platforming, brawling, racing, and shooting within a science fantasy setting. The series is regarded as one of the most defining and innovative franchises for the PlayStation 2 era, and is among Sony Interactive Entertainment's most successful intellectual properties.
By December 2017, emulation and trophy support was added for the original trilogy and Jak X: Combat Racing on PlayStation 4. Additionally, the original trilogy was remastered for the PlayStation 3 and PS Vita by Mass Media in 2012. Although originally and primarily developed for the PlayStation 2, other games have been developed for the PlayStation Portable by other developers, namely Daxter by Ready at Dawn and The Lost Frontier by High Impact Games.
The Jak and Daxter series is a video game franchise created by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment.
