===Setting===
{{unreferenced section|date=July 2020}}
''Jak and Daxter'' is set in a fictional universe. The first game takes place in a world brimming with various natural environments that are encompassed by village settlements, and ancient Precursor ruins and elements can be found riddled throughout the landscape. An elemental substance called Eco is prominent throughout the game and is considered the world's life source. Eco comes in several forms, Red Eco, Blue Eco, Yellow Eco, Green Eco, Light Eco and Dark Eco, each with different prospective effects. Subsequent entries/games are set in a future setting that has witnessed large advancements in both society and technology, mainly taking place in cities and other larger settlements and affecting both hand-to-hand combat and available weaponry. Beyond cities in subsequent games lies natural environments with many platforming segments, akin to the first game. Overall, there are many distinct and differing environments available to discover and explore. All three main titles take place in an open world with little to no load times - a goal emphasized heavily since the first game.

The ''Jak and Daxter'' universe is populated primarily by a [[humanoid]] [[elf]]ish species. Jak is the main protagonist of the series, and is playable in every game with the exception of ''Daxter''. In ''The Precursor Legacy'', he accidentally turned Daxter from a human into an ottsel (a fictional hybrid of an otter and weasel) after accidentally bumping him into a reservoir of Dark Eco and sets out on a quest in attempts to undo the transformation. In ''Jak II'', he is infused with Dark Eco due to experimentations performed by Baron Praxis, and in ''Jak 3'' he is blessed with Light Eco by the Precursors. Both Light and Dark Eco abilities are expanded upon during the course of the story in “Jak 3.” In ''Jak X'', he is forced to race in the Kras City Grand Championship in order to save his life. He later travels to The Brink to investigate the Eco shortage that is ravaging his world in ''The Lost Frontier''.

[[Daxter]] is Jak's sidekick, and is often found getting into trouble. Daxter was once a human but fell into a pit of Dark Eco in the opening cutscene of the first game in the series, which mutated him into an ottsel. He rescues Jak at the beginning of ''[[Jak II]]'', and becomes playable intermittently for the first time in the series. In ''Jak 3'' his role is expanded, and he gets a pair of pants as a reward for his efforts as an ongoing gag in the game. In ''[[Daxter (video game)|Daxter]]'', he details his adventures in the two-year time span before he managed to break Jak out of prison.<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://culturedvultures.com/new-jak-daxter-game-ps5/|title = Will We Ever See a New Jak and Daxter Game?|date = July 18, 2021|access-date = August 4, 2021|archive-date = August 4, 2021|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210804220915/https://culturedvultures.com/new-jak-daxter-game-ps5/|url-status = live}}</ref> In ''Jak X'', he accompanies Jak and his friends to Kras City, and assists them as they compete in the Kras City Grand Championship.
