Jak X: Combat Racing is an action-racing game developed by Naughty Dog and released in 2005 for PlayStation 2, later made available on PlayStation 4. The story follows Jak and Daxter, who are poisoned and coerced into competing on an international combat racing circuit as a consequence of a will left by the criminal Krew. Players compete across 20 tracks spread through eight distinct terrain arenas, piloting one of more than a dozen vehicles, each with its own handling characteristics. Combat is central to the gameplay, with a range of power-ups available including projectile weapons, mines, ranged weapons, turbo boosts, shields, and smart bombs. Beyond the single-player campaign, the game supports offline two-player split-screen and online multiplayer for up to six players total. Both multiplayer modes mirror the single-player game types, substituting human opponents for AI competitors.
Taking place one year after Jak 3, Haven City has been steadily rebuilt after the defeat of the Dark Makers, Metal Head and KG Attacks. Combat racing became a sport over time in the dangerous Kras City. Jak, Daxter, Ashelin, Samos, Keira, Torn and Sig (Who does not attend) receive an invite to the reading of Krew's last will, as does his daughter, Rayn. After offering a toast, Krew reveals in a recording that everyone present has been poisoned with black shade. Krew gives an ultimatum: the only way to obtain the antidote is for everyone to race and win at the next Kras City Grand Championship. As Jak and friends progress through each race, they find that another crime syndicate led by the mysterious Mizo has it in for Jak. Eventually it is revealed that Krew and Mizo made a deal before the events of Jak 3: both gangs were to make their own racing teams and the loser of the Kras City Championship will submit, making the winner the sole crime family in Jak's world.
