The Ultimate Hits (アルティメットヒッツ, Arutimetto Hittsu^?) range is a Square Enix budget range in the NTSC-J regions. This region includes Japan, and the rest of Asia. A similar budget range in the European Market (PAL region) is known as Platinum range, while in U.S. market (NTSC U/C) is known as the Greatest Hits label.

Ultimate Hits titles are recognizable by a platinum/silver colored band on the game's casing.

For PlayStation 2 games, this band normally run along the left-hand side of the case's front, with the original game cover cropped. The game disc features the original release disc's design, with added "Ultimate Hits" designation on the disc.

For PlayStation games, a detachable (separate) leaflet colored silver, with the name of the game is included and attached at the disc cover on the left-hand side. The disc contains no indication if the disc is released as "Ultimate Hits".

The manual contains no indication of "Ultimate Hits". Instead the manual included is identical to the original release. This applies to both PlayStation and PlayStation 2 Ultimate Hits releases.
