Do you think you will be able to play PS3 games digitally on the PS5 in the future, in the form of a PS3 emulator, so that you can download PS3 games from PS Now instead of just streaming? Works with the PS4 with PS2 games, because it has a corresponding emulator.

And what would speak against an integrated PS3 emulator? Is it so difficult to implement? What's your opinion? I would be interested.

Console too old. An emulator eats a lot of resources unnecessarily and would probably not be worth it.

Ir

One can hope.
But don't think.

Then why do you have a PS2 emulator?

ra

Although an emulator is completely efficient in terms of performance. BUT since the PS3 has not had the performance of the PS5 for a long time, this is relatively negligible.

Thank you for your opinion. Do you still want to justify it?

An

There will be some PS3 titles running, but not all of them in general, but only those that will be offered.

The PS2 has a relatively simple design, any $ 150 office computer can also emulate without problems. It's different with the PS3.

Le

Because the PS2 is practically retro again and does not require so much effort.

Le

For PS4 and PS2 maybe. The PS3, however, used a different architecture, which is why games were specially programmed on it. Therefore, there's probably no backward compatibility from PS4 to PS3.

Ir

There are more legendary games on the PS3 than on the PS4 especially in the COD area

Af

The first PS4 models still had a PS3 emulator.

But it went badly.

I guess because of the PS3 architecture.
