Yes, but it depends on the model of PS3. The original fat PS3 (20GB, 60GB, and early 80GB models) has hardware-based backward compatibility with PS2 games. Later models, like the slim and super slim, don't support PS2 games natively.

I鈥檝e got the early 60GB PS3 and it plays PS2 games perfectly. Just make sure your model supports it before trying to dust off those old classics!

Some PS2 games are available via the PlayStation Store to play on PS3. So, if you're not sure about your console, check the store!

Nope, not all PS3s can play PS2 games. Only the OG fat ones do. Slim and super slim models? No dice.
