We're one step closer to achieving the dream. PlayStation 5 will soon receive its first emulated PlayStation 3 game.

Buying the Cloudberry Kingdom package on the PlayStation Store gives you access to three downloadables: the native PS4 and PS5 apps, alongside the Cloudberry Kingdom: PlayStation 3 Edition. This is also a PS5 app, running the RedoEngine emulator. Loading up this version, you're presented with a very Sony-like joypad explainer, detailing how the Dual Shock 3 controls map onto today's Dual Sense controller.

Pausing the game also exhibits different behaviour between the PS5 native and PS3 emulated versions: on the latter, there is support for save states, for example. From thereon out, the game presents very similarly to the PS5 version, just running at a lower resolution (1080p, in line with the original, 4K on PS5) - and with a few minor issues that will be addressed in an upcoming patch.

This is clearly not a very technically demanding game. Even so, it is a good start, and could hopefully open the door toward getting more PS3 games brought to users of current systems.

I was playing PS3 games years before PC gamers could emulate them. Even cooler.

 

[LectureMaster]

Looks pretty plausible, tis good Sony is putting effort.

True. Just when I was playing PC stuff which PS3 could not handle. Neither could its successor.

Even Microsoft have been more adequate with their backwards compatibility. Which is saying a lot.

Ok, this is huge!
