Remake 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand, you absolute cowards. This is our message after fans have been sharing their love for this cult classic.
As the name of the game suggests, Blood on the Sand stars rapper 50 Cent. Released in 2009 for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, it’s fair to say that this third-person shooter wasn't a commercial success, only selling a reported 56,000 copies in the United States.
Fancy a trip down memory lane? Take a look at the trailer for 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand below.

In its defence, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand does have a decent Metacritic score of 71 and 72 for PS3 and 360, respectively. What’s more, it has reached a cult-like status amongst gaming enthusiasts - largely due to its easy-to-pick-up gameplay and cheesy charm.
However, its predecessor, 50 Cent: Bulletproof, which was released in 2005, did not reach the same lovable heights as its sequel. To be honest, it’s probably why you don't hear much of the gaming community requesting a remaster of the older brother.
Now playable on the Xbox Series X/S thanks to backwards compatibility, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand plays better than ever on console and fans have been sharing the love on Reddit. “50 Cent: Blood on the Sand is mindless fun at its absolute finest,” posted Redditor xCryodream.
“Man, this reminds me of playing Enter the Matrix with the infinite slo-mo cheat code,” said the gleeful NiteSwept. “There was a mission where you were in a bank and if you never left, police/security officers would spawn infinitely. I think I played that for like an hour the first time I played it. So much fun.”
“I didn’t know it was backwards compatible! That’s brilliant. It’s a proper cheesy fun title,” said Silent_Palpatine. “The crazy thing is that 50 Cent actually did all this crazy shit in real life. It’s based on a true story my buddy Eric said,” added the suspicious FilmNoirLoveStory.
With this game being backwards compatible on Xbox One and Series X/S, one could argue that it doesn't need a remake or remaster. However, the game is no longer available to buy on the Xbox Marketplace and if you wanted to buy a second-hand copy, it won't come cheap.
With that in mind, 50 Cent: Blood on the Sand most certainly warrants a remake or remaster. So make it happen THQ. In related 50 Cent news, the rapper recently dropped a Vice City tease and GTA fans have gone wild.
