Rare Replay was a compilation of video games created by Rare and its predecessor, Ultimate Play the Game.

Included games

Rare Replay contains twenty-three video games by Rare.

It also included seven video games from the predecessor of Rare, Ultimate Play The Game.

This brought the total number of games up to thirty. This was a symbolic number as this compilation was released in 2015 as a celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the founding of Rare Limited in 1985.

Emulated platforms

The thirty games included in this compilation were released on six different hardware architectures, which were all presented through emulation.

The emulated platforms included in this compilation include the arcade, Nintendo 64, Nintendo Entertainment System, Xbox, Xbox 360, and ZX Spectrum.

GoldenEye 007 DLC

On September 13, 2022, Rare announced that the original Nintendo 64 version of GoldenEye 007, with online multiplayer, would be available for Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers.

In addition, an enhanced version of GoldenEye 007 was released on January 27, 2023, for Xbox Game Pass subscribers as well as through free downloadable content for owners of the digital version of Rare Replay.
