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.
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!

I would like to request of Tim Burtons The Nightmare Before Christmas: Oogie’s Revenge on the PS4 please.
Hey could you guys port Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi 3 & Infinite World! That would be amazing!
Star wars Battlefront 1 and 2, Dragon Ball Z Tenkaichi 3, and Dragon Ball Z Infinite World
It’s mad that a remastered SOCOM 2 w/multiplayer isn’t here and that Sony isn’t commenting on whether or not it is ever going to be remade considering how many votes it got.
I’ve donated $150 towards getting H-Hour made and on the PS4, and while I would love for that to still happen, I would have(and still would actually) gladly bought copies of a remastered SOCOM 2 with multiplayer for myself and all those I personally know with PS4’s as gifts to get the ball rolling.
Computing power has come a long way since Socom 2 was out and prices have come down for the equivalent of what was needed back then for the job so how much could servers that can handle that load be in order to get that going plus a little bit more just in case?
I think Sony should remake it even if they think they will take a hit financially, just to pay homage to one of the games that made the console as popular as it was.
PLEEEASE BRING TENKAICHI 3 AND INFINITE WORLD ON THE PS4. IT WOULD MAKE A LOT OF FANS HAPPY.

I already bought Twisted Metal Black (and many others) digital PS2 classic via PSN on my PS3. I should NOT (and WILL not) have to purchase this digital PS2 game AGAIN to play it on my PS4
Sony already offers cross buy on digital PS1 classics whether using PSP, Vita, or PS3. That’s THREE of their FOUR Playstation systems that connect to PSN. Tell me why exactly they can’t add PS4 to that list being that it’s clearly the most powerful of all their systems and their weakest handheld can do it.
Same goes for digital PS2 classics. With the only difference being they’re currently ONLY available on PS3. I’d rather have cross buy (like PS1 classics) between all capable Sony Playstation systems (and the PS4 is obviously the MOST capable) as opposed to having to REBUY the same digital PS1/PS2 games I’ve ALREADY PURCHASED using my one unified PSN account for increased resolution and trophy support.
First of all, I just want to say that while I didn’t expect discs to work, it’s disappointing that Classics don’t work. At the very least, it would be a really nice gesture if anyone who bought a PS2 Classic on PS3 received a code that gave them a significant discount on the PS4 version. It would be a BETTER gesture if they got a free copy, but I doubt that will happen.
As for PS2 games I’d like to see brought to PS4, I’ve always been curious about the “Ar Tonelico” games, so the first two would be nice.
Also, games that I own physical copies of but wouldn’t mind paying (a little) to get again with trophies, in no particular order:
-All 3 “Xenosaga” games
-“Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne,” “Persona 3 FES,” “Digital Devil Saga” 1 & 2, “Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. The Soulless Army,” and “Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon”
-“Sakura Wars: So Long, My Love”
-“Tales of the Abyss”
-“Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria”
