Later on in Octoa team lead by Víctor González, along with help from the original translation team, released an English patch for the Saturn version of Policenauts that translated the port's new content and further polished the English script. The team's patch was released on August 24, 2009, coinciding with Hideo Kojima's 46th birthday. However, Marc Laidlaw and Artemio Urbina from the Junker HQ fan site worked for many years on a fan translation of the PlayStation version of Policenauts and were finally able to completed their fan patch after receiving hacking assistance from Something Awful forum member Michael Sawyer (known by his online handle 'slowbeef'). Hideo Kojima has cited that work had begun on an English release of Policenauts but the developers were unable to synchronize the English dialogue with the FMV cut-scenes so the project was canceled.

Konami even released an official press release on their website announcing Policenauts' localization in May 1996 and the game was also advertised on pamphlets included with certain Konami games, but it never came to be.

When the PlayStation version arrived on January 19, 1996, it featured further cleanup on both the graphics and movie footage created for the 3DO release. The game's script was also polished and rewritten making Poilcenaut's 3DO release the base for all future ports. Besides all the game's artwork being redrawn, CG and hand-animated cut-scenes were added to enhance important moments in the story. The first console release of Policenauts was for the 3DO in 1995 and it was extensively reworked from the original. Policenauts was first released on the NEC PC-98 Japanese microcomputer on Jand, unlike the title's later console ports, featured a presentation made up entirely of pixel art, giving the game a look very similar to Snatcher. The story takes place in the year 2040 where private investigator Jonathan Ingram uncovers the mystery behind the disappearance of his ex-wife's husband, who is a citizen that lives aboard the space colony that now orbits the Earth. Policenauts is the spiritual successor to Snatcher, both of which are sci-fi adventure games designed and written by Hideo Kojima.
