Super Stardust HD is a 2007 multidirectional shooter video game developed by Housemarque and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation 3. It was released on the PlayStation Network, with a PlayStation Portable version titled Super Stardust Portable releasing the following year. An HD remake for the PlayStation 4 developed by D3T was released as Super Stardust Ultra in 2015. In 2016, Super Stardust Ultra VR, a PlayStation VR-compatible version that contains Super Stardust Ultra, was released as paid downloadable content and a separate product in itself.
The game combines the mechanics of Asteroids and Robotron: 2084 with a level of action found typically in modern games such as Geometry Wars. The game is an enhanced version of Super Stardust, developed by Bloodhouse, a predecessor of Housemarque, for the Amiga; Sony acquired the rights to the game before remaking it. Super Stardust HD was the first title with trophy support on the PlayStation 3.
A sequel, Super Stardust Delta, was released in 2012 for the PlayStation Vita.
