On October 30, 2012 Sony released Sports Champions 2 which had a focus on common modern-day sports. Along with the return of archery from the first game, this one included tennis, skiing, golf, bowling, and boxing.
Both games use the following tropes:
- Casual Video Game: All six of the minigames in both games are easy to learn how to play and are played with a different form of controller.
- Death Mountain: Disc Golf takes place in a mountain range.
- Exergaming: Similar to other collections on other systems, they are a series of sports games which use an interactive, motion detecting controller.
- Minigame Game: Both games have six sports all of which can be played individually.
- The Middle Ages: This is the setting of the Gladiator Duel minigame.
- Palmtree Panic: Naturally, Beach Volleyball takes place on the beach.
- Slippy-Slidey Ice World: Skiing in the second game has the player skiing down a snowy mountain range.
- Tech-Demo Game: Released to demonstrate the PlayStation Move and was a pack-in for the device.
- Under the Sea: Bowling in the second game takes place in a bowling alley located in an underwater dome.
