PlayStation is Working on PS3 Emulation for PlayStation 5, It's Claimed
Two insiders have claimed that PlayStation/Sony is reportedly working on PS3 emulation for the PlayStation 5.

Two insiders have claimed that PlayStation is reportedly working on PS3 emulation for the PlayStation 5.
That’s according to XboxEra’s Nick Baker and Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb, who have both claimed that PlayStation is working on PS3 emulation for the PlayStation 5.
The first report of the rumor came from Nick Baker, who claimed that “Sony is working on select PlayStation 3 backward compatibility.” Unfortunately, Baker doesn’t provide any other details and has seemingly covered all his bases using the term ‘select,’ which could mean one game or all of them.
However, Giant Bomb’s Jeff Grubb took to his podcast to also cover the news and add a little more input on what he’s heard. “It’s something I’ve heard has been in the works for quite some time; I thought it was going to get revealed earlier this year when I first heard about it, but that clearly didn’t happen. That doesn’t mean it will never happen; maybe it does,” he said. Unfortunately, Grubb’s input is also pretty vague and doesn’t necessarily confirm that this could ever be released, but as always, with smoke, there’s fire.
We just got PS2 games again after being told about it 9? Years ago….. When it was available on the PS3 and Vita.
I doubt Sony gets the PS3 on PS5, look how long it takes them to do stuff

Yeah I do so far trust HHG more... But I really hope this happens at some point though!
Implict Conversions wasnt even working woth Sony back then lol
The CEO of that company is the one, who convinced Sony to work on PS1 & PSP emulation, but that was like back in 2021.
According to their blog, one of the Implicit Conversions founders (the one who is one of the PCSX2 devs) worked full time at Sony from 2011 to 2017 making emulators and later as contractor. In 2019 they founded Implicit Conversions and in 2021 Sony contacted them again.
He or Implicit Conversions weren't the only ones working at Sony on emulators or adding emulated games.
But nothing was worked upon in 2020. 2015-17 was the timeframe when they brought over a few of the ps2 classics.
They only started working upon the new emulators in 2021
Pretty likely they did a pause on 2019-2020 because they needed their OS team to work on the PS5 OS instead, and were also defining their roadmap for emulated games in the PS5 gen and the upcoming PS+ overhaul.
Or well, maybe they stopped adding games because nobody bought the emulated games they already had available. But later they thought that could be useful to sell some PS+ Premium subs.
idk why they didnt just buy out the entire PCSX2,Duckstation and RPCSX3 Teams.
These guys are already Sony Fanboys
That would be great, but doubt MP will be available if KZ launches as PS3 BC on PS5. Although, there are independent KZ2 servers on modified PS3.
