The game was also re-released in 2012 as a downloadable game in the PlayStation Store for the PlayStation 3 under the PS2 classics banner, iOS, Android, and in April 2016 for the PlayStation 4 as a PS2 emulated downloadable game in the PlayStation Store. The game was re-released on 27 April 2009 as a downloadable game in the Xbox Originals program for the Xbox 360. There were plans for a Dreamcast version of Max Payne, but they were canceled due to the discontinuation of the console.

Ports created later in the year for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox and a tie-in for the Game Boy Advance were published by Rockstar Games.
