Jet Set Radio Future

Jet Set Radio Future is a 2002 action-platform video game developed by Smilebit and published by Sega for the Xbox. It is the sequel to the 2000 Dreamcast game Jet Set Radio, and as a re-imaging of the original game, Jet Set Radio Future maintains its predecessor's cel-shaded visuals while introducing refined gameplay mechanics, updated graphics, larger open world environments, new characters, an altered plot, a new soundtrack and multiplayer gameplay. As with the first game, the player controls characters Beat, Gum, Corn, Yoyo, and other members of the GG's, a youth street gang that uses inline skates to traverse a futuristic Tokyo, spraying graffiti, challenging rival gangs and evading authorities.

Much like its predecessor, Jet Set Radio Future received critical acclaim upon release, with praise towards its music, art style, gameplay, characters, and replay value. It was nominated and won several awards, including "Best Platformer," "Best Music," and "Best Graphics (Artistic)" from GameSpot. Originally developed for the Sega Dreamcast, it was released as an exclusive Xbox launch game in Japan and Europe, and was later bundled with Xbox consoles along with Sega GT 2002. Jet Set Radio Future became backwards compatible on Xbox 360 in 2005. In retrospective, Jet Set Radio Future is often celebrated for being one of the best original Xbox titles by critics and one of the best games of the 2000s.

In 2022, Sega announced that a new Jet Set Radio project was in development as part of a revival of previous franchises. Subsequent reports in 2023 and 2024 described leaked development footage and screenshots.
