Air Combat, Ace Combat 2, and Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere were released on the Sony PlayStation, while Ace Combat 04, Ace Combat 5 and Ace Combat Zero are PlayStation 2 games.

Air Combat (Ace Combat) is one of the original six games on the PlayStation platinum range. The series in Japan began with the release of this game, Ace Combat, on the PlayStation. However, this game is more commonly known as Air Combat in North America and Europe. The name was changed back to Ace Combat for the sequels and reissues of the game.

Ace Combat 2 This game presents the world setting that would be used in the subsequent games in the series.

Ace Combat 3: Electrosphere is set in a more futuristic setting than the other games in the series, and the futuristic planes were not well received by some. The game appears to be set in the same world as most other games in the series. The Japanese version of this game is very story-driven, featuring 52 missions, multiple endings, and anime-style characters. However, in the North American and European versions, this story was mostly cut out, reducing it to 36 missions and a more linear storyline. Consequently, this game was generally well-received in Japan, but met much criticism elsewhere.

Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies (Ace Combat: Distant Thunder), being the first PS2 release in the series, was a huge step forward from the previous three games due to its use of the console's improved processing power and its ability to render more detailed graphics. It was well received by many primarily for its gameplay, well-told narrative, and its beautifully rendered graphics.

Ace Combat 5: The Unsung War (Ace Combat: Squadron Leader) improvement in graphics over Ace Combat 04 in the same way AC04 improved over the original three games. In addition, the game featured more missions than Shattered Skies with 18, offering almost 30 missions along with an arcade mode (which was a direct sequel to the story of AC04). Although in practice, most of these missions were shorter than the multi-staged missions of AC04. Ace Combat 5's other major additions included a simple wingman command system where the player could give orders to other members of their squadron. Planes also had to be purchased for not only the player, but also for the rest of the squadron.

Ace Combat Zero: The Belkan War serves as the prequel to Ace Combat 5 and explains in further detail the Belkan War that occurred 15 years before the events of Ace Combat 5. The planes in the game are more oriented with the 1990's, with appearance of more modern craft late in the game.
