The Shrek 2 game is getting a second life. Aspyr has announced DreamWorks Shrek 2 Remastered for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, Switch and PC, Gematsu reports, and it's out in November. The game's Steam page lists a November 10, 2026 release on PC.
What's new in the remaster
Polygon reports that the remaster adds 4K visuals, updated graphics and online co-op. The Xbox Store listing goes further, according to Pure Xbox: it says the game was "rebuilt with better textures, enhanced UI, 4K resolution and cutscenes", and it adds a Photo Mode and a Cheat Mode.
Steam describes it as a "button-mashing co-op adventure" with all the familiar characters. Push Square remembers the original as a PS2-era tie-in that fans still like despite its rough edges.
A leak, then a GTA 6 parody
The game didn't stay secret for long. Nintendo Life reported that an official Xbox Store listing revealed the remaster early, and a promotional trailer styled after GTA 6 surfaced online at the same time. Aspyr then made it official, and Pure Xbox says the release date was confirmed at the ID@Xbox Showcase.
IGN also highlights the reveal trailer's GTA 6 parody and notes that launch is less than a month away.
Who's making it
Aspyr is a familiar name for this kind of project. Pure Xbox points to its ports of Star Wars Episode I Racer and Lord of the Rings: War in the North, and Nintendo Life notes it recently brought Lord of the Rings and Middle-earth games to Nintendo platforms.
