Shrek 2 Remastered, Digi Mart USA News: DreamWorks’ remastered version of Shrek 2 launched on November 10 for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. The game, developed by Aspyr Media, is based on the 2004 movie and is priced at $30, with a 10% launch discount on Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Nintendo eShop lowering the price to $26.99 in the US.
The remaster updates the textures, cutscenes and interface and adds 4K support for compatible hardware. Its biggest addition is a four-player co-op mode, available both online and locally, with players able to mix local and online play.
The release also includes a new photo mode and a dedicated cheats menu. Aspyr Media has confirmed reports of launch crashes affecting certain Steam Machine users and says a fix is on the way.
Early reception has been mixed. Just a day after launch, fewer than half of the more than 350 Steam reviews at the time of the report were positive, with 47% rated positive.
The source notes that it is too early to say whether the planned fix will improve the reception.
A $189.99 physical Collector’s Edition is available for pre-order in the US for $49.99 in physical stores and is scheduled to ship in Fall 2027. It includes the game, a steelcase storybook cover, a replica Donkey coin, a hanging “Beware Ogres” sign and an 8-inch Shrek and Donkey statue.
