Bandai Namco is continuing a trend here, resurrecting dormant IPs from the defunct PlayStation Japan Studio for a multiplatform release.
Two of which were announced in March 2025 Nintendo Direct.
Everybody’s Golf, previously known in North America as Hot Shots Golf, is getting its first multiplatform entry with Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots.
This will be the first game in this arcade golf game series to venture out of PlayStation, and the latest entry since the last mainline game on consoles, Everybody’s Golf (2017).
Clap Hanz, the long time developer of Everybody’s Golf since its second entry in 1999, is not at the helm developing Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots—the company has since made their own spiritual successor to the series. This game is instead developed by Hyde, whose last published title is Digimon Survive.
The IP itself is still owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment, similar to Freedom Wars which had a remaster release early this year and Patapon, which is getting a remaster later this year.
Unlike other modern golf games that have adapted golf swings to analog stick flicks, Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots is sticking to the traditional way of video game golfing, the three-button shot.
Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots includes a single-player campaign, up to four-player multiplayer (local and online) and silly mini-games via the new game mode, Wacky Golf.
Everybody’s Golf Hot Shots will be available for PS5, PC (Steam) and Nintendo Switch.
