New PS2 Emulator Appears to Be Imminent on PS5, PS4 | Push Square

Here’s some potentially huge news, unearthed by the eagle-eyed Gematsu: a new PS2 emulator appears to be imminent for PS5 and PS4. As many of you will already know, Sony has been gradually deploying PS1 and PSP titles on the PS Store as part of its PS Plus Premium subscription, with all releases boasting video filters, quick save, and rewind.

Well, now a new PS Store listing for Star Wars: The Clone Wars suggests support may be expanding to the PS2, with the product listing confirming all of the aforementioned features for the Pandemic Studios developed 2002 outing. “This title has been converted from the PS2 version to the PS4 and PS5 consoles and provides newly added features,” the listing reads. The port’s due out on 11th June.

Sony did temporarily release a throng of PS2 titles on PS4, but the emulation was largely very poor and it lacked all of the additional features mentioned above. This sounds like it’s the start of a new initiative, which will hopefully see more classic titles converted to the Japanese giant’s modern consoles. Are there any games in particular you’d like to see emulated? Let us know below.

Nice --would be cool if they add more-- how about Siren 2, Kuon, Fatal Frame 1,2,3(yes these were in PS3 but now for PS4/5 with trophy support), hell add in The Bouncer as well, I'd kill for the PS2 versions of FFX and X-2 they had the better high res faces during cutscenes..

Awesome, its amazing how poorly PS1 games have aged, but the PSP titles released so far have been pretty good, so id imagine the PS2 should be good also

A lot of the big hitters have had rereleases, remakes or remasters, but if we arent getting any new
