Shakedown: Hawaii is coming to PlayStation®5 on Tuesday, December 15th -- with Cross Buy! If you've purchased the game digitally on PS4, PS3, or PS Vita, you'll be able to download the new PS5 version for free.

The PS5 version includes all of the latest updates (including the new difficulty mode), plus added PS5 functionality.

Shakedown: Hawaii supports the DualSense controller's adaptive triggers, giving the weapons a more distinct feel on PS5. It also delivers a whole new level of vibration, far beyond that of the PS4 version. Whether you choose to use the triggers or opt for the twin sticks, the enhanced vibration makes sure each action has that much more of a reaction.

These new features really are awesome (if I do say so myself). Of course, if you do want to retain the more retro experience, both features can be toggled on or off independently under the options menu.

This brings an expanded trophy set to the PS5, including the much-requested Platinum. The new set takes advantage of the latest enhancements, including progress trophies (which display how close you are to achieving them). Your story mode completion will also be displayed on an Activity Card, and you can use that to jump directly back into the game.

Because these new features aren't available on all legacy platforms, the PS5 version's trophy set and leaderboards will be separate from the PSVITA/PS3/PS4 ones. However, this allows them to tap into the latest and greatest that PlayStation has to offer.

If you've already played through the original release on the previous platforms, there's never been a better time to give it a second playthrough -- especially with the new difficulty mode. Shakedown: Hawaii's seen "The Mogul Update", the "Full Tank Update", the "Shake-Up Update", not to mention the smaller updates in between.

Don't have a PS5 yet? Not to worry! These added trophies/achievements will also be coming to the PC version. Keep an eye out for that update to roll in... and get after that new-new 100%!

December 15th, 2020. It's a Tuesday! When the clock strikes, head on over to the PlayStation Store and search on down that 'Shakedown: Hawaii'!
