40 free Gravity Rush trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Gravity Rush turned falling into a way of getting around. Its heroine Kat does not fly so much as choose a new direction for down, tumbling across the rooftops of Hekseville and landing on walls and ceilings. That one idea, wrapped in comic-book art and a sweeping orchestral score, made the game stand out from everything around it. This quiz covers the whole series: the story and cast of the original, the changes made for Gravity Rush Remastered, the new powers and places of Gravity Rush 2, and the films, comics and cities that director Keiichiro Toyama's team drew on. It is written for players who have finished the games and for anyone curious about one of Sony's most unusual adventures. Questions start with the essentials and work up to details only long-time fans will know.
