Fan-Favorite PS2 Games Launching on PS4 Tomorrow
Shuhei Yoshida Head of PlayStation Indies, SIE

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!

    What a joke!!! Tell you what Sony I’ll start using my Xbox One as my primary console from now on. “Greatness awaits”. Should be their slogan cause you guys are a joke!!!

    • N3W-JOSH
      December 5, 2015 at 8:46 am PST

      I am in the same boat. Xbox is now my primary console. And they said backwards compatibility was not a feature people wanted.

    Wild Arms 3-5 and Alter Code F

    I think this is great, however I can’t help but feel like it’s a kick in the teeth. Not long ago I bought all the classic GTA Games on my PS3 slim AND I own the physical copies from the PS2 days and now you want ANOTHER $15 for them on the best console available today? I would have waited on the PS3 digital copies if I knew this was coming. Sony you should do your fans a solid and tell them these plans ALOT sooner. I would have been happy to wait and give you that $15 if I knew.

    Please, Sony! Give us Dragonball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and Infinite World! Since Xenoverse came out and a new series is running, DBZ Franchise is so powerful nowadays that I think we fans wanna go back to old school mode of DBZ Gameplay.. Tenkaichi 3 was the best DBZ game of all time, even competitive with the new gen game Xenoverse. So please, give us fans what we want! :)

    Couldn’t been more happier to see my three all-time favorite games upscaled on Playstation 4! Even though 15 bucks is a bit too much, call me trashy, but heck, I would probably buy a messy diaper with ” Grand Theft Auto ” sign on it :)

    Thank you for giving us the awesomeness that is Vice City on PS4. If there is any way possible, it would make me the happiest guy on earth if you could somehow port the 2002 BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER game, originally an XBOX exclusive, to PS4. The “slaying” mechanics were awesome and I would love to experience it again. Here is the Wikipedia article:

    I actually have a trio that i would love to have on my ps4.

    1.) Primal. Such an underrated game, i loved everything about it.

    2.) Psychonauts. Needs to be here. Would play the hell out of that game over and over. (Especially with the tantalizing idea that we might get a sequel here)

    and finally, a more obscure one.
    3.) Gladius. Now, I only played through the game once. But I remember that it was a lot of fun, made by Lucasarts (before their downfall) and had a pretty strong voice cast. I remember that it was an RPG/RTS combo feel (with gladiators). And would love the opportunity to play it again.
