Released in a comprehensive 2CD+DVD box set of previously released albums, created to honor the Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic era. Released by The Prince Estate in collaboration with Legacy Recordings, the collection includes the Rave Un2 The Joy Fantastic studio album, its companion Rave In2 The Joy Fantastic, and the Rave Un2 The Year 2000 DVD. On the same day, the albums were also individually re-released in CD and vinyl formats. The box set features new packaging and design by Steve Parke. The collection's title is derived from a line in the song "Wanna Melt With U."
In contrast to the "singles collections" released by The Prince Estate in 2020 and 2023, the material in Ultimate Rave was neither remastered nor exclusive to Prince.com.
