The Attack on Titan franchise, originally a manga and anime, expanded into handheld gaming with titles on the PlayStation Portable (PSP). Due to the PSP’s limited storage (UMD capacity ~1.8 GB) and the rise of emulation on low-end devices, a niche but persistent demand emerged for “highly compressed” versions of these games.
