Jak X: Combat Racing

Overview

Jak X: Combat Racing is a 2005 vehicular combat video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 2 (PS2). A spin-off following Jak 3 (2004), it follows protagonist Jak and his allies who, after being poisoned, must compete in a combat racing championship to obtain an antidote.

The gameplay differs from previous installments in the series, focusing on arcade racing rather than action-adventure gameplay. The driving mechanics of the game were modeled after the previous entry in the series, Jak 3. Furthermore, Combat Racing was the first Jak and Daxter game to feature a multiplayer mode, with the second being Daxter. In 2017, the game was re-released for the PlayStation 4, alongside Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II, and Jak 3, all of which later became available on PlayStation 5 through backwards compatibility.
