It looks as though the PS5 may be getting a wave of classic PlayStation 2 games in the not-so-distant future. This info comes courtesy of a company called Implicit Conversions, which claims on its website to be working alongside Sony Interactive Entertainment to bring retro games to modern consoles.
The company has already brought various PS1 and PSP games to modern Sony consoles via the PlayStation Plus Premium Classics collection (including Resistance: Retribtuion and Jet Moto 2 last month). However, statements that have recently popped up on company socials indicate that the PS2 is now on its radar, which is potentially good news for those who haven’t played around with 6th gen classics.
Before you get excited, there is a catch. There’s no word on whether or not the PS5 will be able to read your personal collection of PS2 discs. As such, it appears more likely than not that retro PlayStation games brought over to the PS5 by Implicit Conversions will be digital, much like its previous work on PS1 and PSP games – which is locked behind a PlayStation Plus Premium subscription.
