Fan-Favorite PS2 Games Launching on PS4 Tomorrow

Hello everyone. As we continue our celebration of the PlayStation 20th anniversary, we want to take a look back at the heritage that helped propel us to the brand that we are today. PlayStation 2 holds a special place in the hearts of many gamers who have fond memories of playing some of the biggest franchises in gaming.

PS2 remains the best-selling console of all time, thanks in part to the revolutionary tech built into the box, such as support for the DVD format for games and movies, a powerful graphics processor, and specialized chips for particle effects and physics. Above and beyond the technical innovations that made PS2 stand apart is the huge catalog of amazing and much loved games, such as Dark Cloud, Twisted Metal: Black, and the PS2-era classic Grand Theft Auto games, Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, just to name a few.

Fan-Favorite PS2 Games Launching on PS4 Tomorrow

To celebrate our PS2 heritage, I’m excited to announce that starting tomorrow, you will be able to purchase and play PS2 games on your PS4 via PlayStation Store in the Americas and Europe.

We are getting things started with a bang by launching with eight fan favorites tomorrow:

  • Dark Cloud — $14.99
  • Grand Theft Auto III — $14.99
  • Grand Theft Auto: Vice City — $14.99
  • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas — $14.99
  • Rogue Galaxy — $14.99
  • The Mark of Kri — $14.99
  • Twisted Metal: Black — $9.99
  • War of the Monsters — $9.99

Having these titles available on PS4 is already incredibly exciting for us, but we did not stop there. We have brought these titles forward to meet today’s gaming standards by adding Trophy support! Each title’s Trophy set has been carefully developed in conjunction with feedback from the original creators to be sure that they capture the spirit and feeling of each game.

Also, you will be able to experience all of these PS2 games like never before — in up-rendered 1080p with the features you expect from a PS4 game including Remote Play, Live Broadcast, Share Play, Activity Feeds, and Second Screen support for game manuals with PlayStation Vita or PlayStation App.

And if you’re attending PlayStation Experience in San Francisco this weekend, you’ll be able to play these PS2 games on PS4 at the show floor:

  • Dark Cloud
  • Grand Theft Auto: Vice City
  • Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
  • PaRappa the Rapper 2 (coming soon)
  • Rogue Galaxy
  • The King of Fighters 2000 (coming soon)
  • The Mark of Kri
  • War of the Monsters

We will be working tirelessly to bring you your favorite PS2 games with new releases on a regular basis, and we hope you love playing PS2 games on PS4 as much as we did making them! So tell us, what PS2 games do you want to play on your PS4?

Long live PlayStation!

  • if i bought gta 3, gta vc, gta sa on the ps3 do i have to buy it again or i can just download it of my own library

  • Wow, thank you so much for this.
    You have gone above and beyond this time..and with full trophy support/1080p.

    I can’t wait to see what games come out in the future with these new features.
    Again, thank you for caring about us players.

    • if they cared about the players they would let us just put our ps2 discs in the ps4 and llet us download our ps2 classics that we already bought instead of making us buying the game a second time or third time

    • How does Sony care about you if you have to buy the game you already own? This is all about money.

  • Please Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi 3 and Infinite World

  • Rule of rose and haunting ground!!!

  • It would be rad to be able to just throw this disc in and play. I have most of those titles in my collection. Don’t want to have to repurchase something I already have.

  • Please bring naruto ultimate ninja 5 dragon ball z infinite world’s on the ps4 so many people would love playstation more because of that. P.s can you also bring red dead redemption to the ps4 please i very much appreciate that and thanks for the opportunity to have a say in something

  • Please bring ace combat 5 and ace combat zero back with this. Those are the only games I would pay for again.

  • and watch they will never add the dbz games or naruto to the list.

  • PLEASE DO DRAGONBALL Z BUDOKAI TENKAICHI 3 PLEASE! IT WILL DO SO WELL IF YOU MAKE IT

  • Dragon ball z budokai tenkaichi 3!!!!!

  • Please bring back the transformers armada game, and if they’re also doing ps1 classics, Twisted Metal 3 and 4, those were my childhood games.

  • The Suffering

    I will buy that so fast, that was my game.

  • Star wars battlefront II please. It will always be my favorite battlefront, this new one is icky

  • Dynasty Warriors series

  • Here’s my thoughts on it. Allow us to use discs for titles that are officially supported (as indicated by titles that have been re-released). Let us copy the game to the hard drive, if necessary. Alternatively, give us the option for a trade-in program so we can trade in our discs for PSN store codes to get the downloaded version. Partner up with a retailer like GameStop or something here in the US to get it done. You did this for PSP games in Japan at one time, so we know it can be done. $15 for a game that I already have sitting on my desk right in front of me even as I type this? If that’s the best you can do here, then GTFO with this.

    Here’s my suggestions on the next round of titles to support:

    Ace Combat (all of them)
    Final Fantasy 10 (original PS2 version) and 12
    Gran Turismo 3 & 4
    Kingdom Hearts 1 & 2
    Psychonauts
    Maximo
    Castlevania (any/all of them)

  • Holy crap I never knew there was this many Dragon Ball Z fans on here! Please Sony, bring back Drgaon Ball Z Tenkaichi 2/3 and Budokai 3! And SSX Tricky is a must as well! Just put these on here and take my money!

  • What about the people that bought the PS3 versions? We’ll have to rebuy these?

  • Manhunt please that would be amazing. I miss that game so much it would be awesome to play it with trophy support

  • Bleach: Soul Resurrección & Shadow The Hedgehog Please!

    Thanks Sony have a good day

  • That’s pretty rad, though I’ve already played The Mark of Kri on ps3, Rogue Galaxy was always one of my most wanted games on the classics section, it’d be great if you could get there:

  • RULE OF ROSE – I would gladly pay $15 to PSN rather than over $100 for a disc only from some internet re-seller.
    HAUNTING GROUND – (see above)

    King’s Field IV
    Forever Kingdom
    Evergrace
    Eternal Ring
    Eve Of Extinction
    Galerians

    Please get more obscure games. I know that was kind of an angle that was being attempted during the release of the PS2/PS1 on PS3 but it didn’t go too deep at all

    Thanks.

  • DragonBall Z Infinite world, Jak X Combat Racing , Sonic Riders, Sonic Heroes, Need for Speed, Hot pursuit 2, Midnight club Los Angeles Dub Edition remix ,Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 needs a remake

  • Please bring back:

    NFL Street (The Original), ATV Offroad Fury 2, Rumble Racing, and TimeSplitters 2…That would be INCREDIBLE!!!!

    Who’s with me on these???

  • Oh please give me God Hand and Viewtiful Joe 1 and 2! I’d pay $20-$25 easy for them, especially if God hand isn’t janky like the digital version you can play on the PS3 and VJ still includes Dante. You don’t know what I’d be willing to do for those games.

    I’d also love to see the Shin Megami Tensei games get this treatment. I’d love to be able to play stuff like Nocturne, Raidou, and DDS without needing to haul out my old PS2 and make space for it.

  • Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi 3 and dragon ball z Infinite World!

  • I would DIE, literally DIE to play Xenosaga over again with added trophy support!!

  • TENKAICHI 3 AND INFINITE WORLD revive the ancient legendary games! Dbz needs these to make some sort of comeback to just regular fighting games!!!!(not to dis character creation)

  • Warriors… Warriors.. Come out to playyyyyy…

  • Please bring Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi to the PS2 Emulator. DMC 3, Sonic Heroes, the original Star Wars Battlefront, The Megaman Collection, all PS2 Final Fantasy games(perhaps PS1 as well :3), Sonic Riders, Shadow of the colossus, the Kingdom Hearts games, the Naruto Ultimate Ninja games, Soul Calibur 2, and Dragon Quest 8 would also be much appreciated.

  • Please make Dragon Ball Z budokai tenkaichi 3 a remake for the ps4.
