Reports from industry insiders such as Nick Baker from XboxEra and Jeff Grubb from Game Mess Mornings have indicated that PlayStation is developing an emulator that will allow direct play of PS3 games on the PS5.
Currently, gamers looking to play PS3 games legally must do so through a PS3 console or subscribe to PlayStation Plus Premium (not available in Thailand) for streaming. The PS3 library includes titles like Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2-3, Resistance trilogy, and many others yet to be remastered for current platforms. If this information holds true, it could bring renewed attention to these games.
The concept of bringing back old games to play on modern consoles is not new, as Microsoft previously implemented the Xbox Backwards Compatibility program. This allowed players with Xbox One and newer consoles to enjoy original Xbox games. Meanwhile, Nintendo has been gradually releasing classic games for play on their Nintendo Online service.
