It was released nearly concurrently with the latter film.
Some music created by the music group Daft Punk for the movie is included in Evolution's soundtrack.
The setting for Evolution is TRON: Legacy's "Grid" system during the year 1989, just as the events presented in that film begin to take place.
Kevin Flynn, a major protagonist in both movies, has recently discovered ISOs on The Grid; ISOs are Programs that have apparently created themselves, and possess unique characteristics above and beyond that noteworthy trait.
While Flynn sees them as a miracle, some normal Programs on The Grid resent them, and infighting between the two groups of applications has begun to flare up.
In an effort to prevent a digital race war, he organizes a ceremony where the leader of the ISOs, Radia, is named co-system administrator alongside Clu, an upgraded version of a Program that Flynn wrote to use against the MCP in the first Tron film.
As a security Program named Anon, you are created to guard the ceremony and help Tron - the same Program from the first film - maintain The Grid.
The game itself is played through a classic third-person perspective, similar to the Tomb Raider series.
However, Anon - the player's character - is much more athletic than a typical character for this genre, and the player is able to travel across The Grid using Anon's "free runner" aerobatic techniques.
The player attacks hostile Programs primarily with their Light Disk, through either melee or ranged attacks.
They can also use the disk to block the attacks of other Programs.
Derezzing (in-universe slang for killing/deleting) a Program grants experience points, which can be used to upgrade the player's abilities.
The game also includes sequences where the player can control Light Cycles (like TRO
About PlayStation 3
Released in 2006, the PlayStation 3 had a rocky start thanks to its high launch price but became known for its exclusive franchises and Blu-ray drive, which doubled as an early home theater upgrade for many households. PS3 collecting is still relatively young — most titles are inexpensive — but the console's digital PSN storefront closure risk has pushed more collectors toward physical copies specifically to preserve access.
Gamevaro tracks Tron: Evolution for PlayStation 3 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Tron: Evolution to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS3 release dates back to 2010.
