OpenGOAL project adds the Naughty Dog classic Jak 3

The much loved Jak series continues getting modern enhancements from the OpenGOAL project, which recently added Jak 3 to the collection. Even though it was announced on April Fools, they're not messing around here.

Originally released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2 (PS2), this brings the entire trilogy to PC along with Linux support so that's Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, Jak II and now Jak 3. No emulation here, the three games use a fully fledged native x86-64 port. With various quality of life improvements, along with modding support - the classics live on in style here. However, to be clear, you do need to supply your own copy of the games as they don't own the rights but their own work including the launcher is open source.

With this latest update they also noted that if you're on Steam Deck, you should now be using their launcher for all the games as the Decky plugin has been deprecated,

It's not entirely clear if they will ever work to support the spin-off Jak X: Combat Racing.

They say Jak 3 support is currently in Beta. So expect some issues for now.
