A new PlayStation job listing is good news for PS3 fans. Right now, via PS Plus Premium, PS4 and PS5 users have access to PS3, PS2, PS1, and PSP games. So far, there are no PS Vita games, and unlike the PS2, PS1, and PSP games, all of which run via emulation, the PS3 games are streaming only. This is a problem, as it means the only way to play PS3 games on modern PlayStation consoles is with latency. And if you have bad Internet, forget about playing them at all. Why are PS3 games streaming only? Well, Sony can’t figure out PS3 emulation, primarily because emulating the PS3 is very challenging due to not only the unique architecture of the console, but because of all the ways developers found unique ways around this architecture that would have to be taken into consideration. All of this said, a new job listing seemingly confirms it’s a problem Sony is actively working on remedying.
