Ah, the Microsoft Store has done it again! Tomb Raider: Definitive Survivor Trilogy has appeared on the aforementioned storefront, complete with an 18th March release date. As its name suggests, the package will include all three games from the modern Tomb Raider trilogy: Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Rise of the Tomb Raider: 20 Year Celebration, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition. Naturally, all of the DLC included in those original bundles is included here as well.
And to be clear, this is just a way to buy all three titles in one go on last-gen hardware — it isn't a PS5 upgrade or anything like that.
In any case, this could end up being a great way to try out all of the Tomb Raider 'origin' games if you haven't already. Although having said that, this thing doesn't have a price tag yet, so nabbing each title individually while they're on sale might end up being the cheaper option. We'll have to wait and see.

But PS5 upgrade for this series is inveitable, right? Bit strange that they didn't take this opportunity, though.
Why tho? The games are good but as the article says you can probably pick them up cheap individually especially the first 2. No ps5 version is just odd
@Arugula
Agreed 100%
I have been wanting to replay the series too and a PS5 update would have had me chomping at the bit, I think they are a fab trilogy of games.
Got the first game for a couple of quid in a sale and the other two were given away on plus. Still haven't played any of them.
One day.
If this was really the definitive collection of Lara’s adventures then Brian Lara Cricket ‘99 would be included.
If this was the trilogy on PS5 I would jump on it in a heartbeat, but I'll just stick to my original PS4 copies.
But hey it's perfect for those that never played them.
Already have the 3 games digitally, and I remember all of the game already have 60 fps option even on the ps4 pro.
It would be cool to have a ps5 upgrade
I enjoyed playing each game when they were released but I wouldn’t enjoy playing them all back to back. They’re all too similar to one another.
Really hoping they have more of a classic Lara in the next game. Dual pistols need to return and fewer human enemies. More exploration/puzzles!
I loved the first two and have been holding off on playing Shadow. Just waiting for a 4K 60fps mode.
Maybe it's to get people in the mood for some tomb raider, for what I expect the coming announcements for new ps5 tomb raider and hopefully a remaster of the first 3 original ps1 games😃😃
Buying individually in sales makes sense to me.
It would be nice if they used backwards compatibility plus to let us play the high res modes at 60fps. Right now on PS5 we have to stick with 1080p.
I just finished Shadow last night. Well finished for me, about 92% and 78% trophies.
I played all 3 on my Slim PS4 and 1080p tv and they're a gorgeous set of games. After Shadow I'm no longer worried about HFW on PS4. The water was great. All of it. Which was my greatest concern for Horizon since the 1st game didn't really have any. But if they can pull that off in a multiplat then HFW should have no problem if it's built for PS4 and then just add in textures and boost the frame rate on PS5.
I am planning on finally getting a 4k tv this month. And a PS5 in June for R&C. Don't think I'll have time to replay this trilogy though, as good as it was. The 3rd game did have plot and pacing issues but it looked awesome.
If this had been on ps5 I'd be all over them I'll just stick with my ps4 version seems a waste but great for anyone that wants to pick all up give us ps5 version please
I played the first two, I think two years ago. I quit halfway the third game, it was just too much. More of the same isn't always good.
@nessisonett that takes me back. Oh I never played it, but I've not heard that joke for over 20 years 🤣
Bought the first one on PS4 for $3. Second one came via PS+. So I won't be availing myself of this package.
I bought the first one: Tomb Raider Definitive Edition and been struggling to complete it. The movements is wonky, coming from Uncharted they all kinda look average.
Oh man got me all excited for a second thinking it’s a remaster of the PS1 games or PS2 trilogy.
Simple words for tbis series. True Great games! Inhave all 3 and replay in times to times.
I bought Tomb Raider Definitive and Rise 20 Years Celebration for only $4.99 each, while I played SOTR on PS Now and got it for free on PS+. I would have bought this trilogy if it came out sooner.
My first thoughts after reading the title please be ps5 versions but never mind
Gotta milk em for all they’re worth! Hard pass.
Bought the 1st game for $4
Got the other 2 with PS Plus. Since this isn't a PS5 upgrade, its cheaper buying individually than buying this.
Already got 2 of them for free and then bought the first on sale for cheeeeap. Fair enough, though!
So my situation is a common one and other have played at least 2 and have no interest. Who is buying this? XD
@Don same here, was pretty disappointed that it's the modern tomb raiders 😏😏 oh well 😌
I just wonder if the commisioned batch of remastered games that Squenix was talking about recently, might be the original trilogy because of the anniversary.
oooh the original games would be great!
A handy release for those late to the party. Alas, I have all three already, though I haven't yet played 'Shadow Of The Tomb Raider'.
These games go on sale quite often. They are great games though.
Utterly pointless release. Enjoyable games though.
@shonenjump86 yep, I’ve seen them as low as 10-15
They were all on PS+ even if the first one was the PS3 version.
@Ralizah same here the bought 1 for 3 bucks.
Rise and shadow were free on ps plus so no need to upgrade them.
One recommendation thought rise is a really bad game if you buy it go as cheap as you can go.
This would have to be VERY competitively priced for anyone to bother purchasing it. The first one is regularly in sales for £2-3 nowadays, and even Rise has been in sale for £5-7 sometimes. So Shadow will hit that point as well soon. So, unless this comes in at around £15 (which it won't) then it's a HUGE waste of money!!
If they were to chuck in some PS1 Tomb Raiders in the whole package maybe that would entice people?
If this gets a physical release it might be worth grabbing one if you consider yourself a collector. Compilations released at the end of a consoles life like this tend to sell quite low, and therefore become quite collectable in the future.
@Arnna I think that’s the way to go. Get them on sale.
@TheLightSpirit totally agreed! Stop making games only for PS4 and fed up with 30 fps! Make dem 4k 60fps from now and ofcourse make them available for PS4. Playing God of War atm 60fps 4k and it's amazing. Tomb Raider for PS5 in 4k should have been patched by now.
@Danloaded who's forcing you to buy it?
Too bad it isn't a PS5 upgrade, but I never beat the first or played any of the sequels, so I'll be picking this up for the right price.
Disappointing that these aren't next gen upgrades, will be passing since I already own them!
