PS5 Linux Unlocks PS3 Emulation, Elevating Some Games to 4K While Highlighting SPU Bottlenecks

Digital Foundry’s PS5 Linux tests with RPCS3 show PS3 games can run on PS5, with titles like Ridge Racer 7 and Resistance scaling to 4K/60 and 4K/30 (40–60fps range) and Heavenly Sword reaching 5K upscales, but CPU-emulation of the PS3’s SPUs cripples others (GTA4, Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2/3). Turning off MLAA helps Killzone 3, yet performance remains spotty and not polished. The results underline CPU bottlenecks and suggest true PS3 emulation on PS5 may hinge on future architectures (e.g., Zen 6), even as PS5 Linux enables deeper hardware exploration.

Netflix Shuts Out PS3 and Other Old Devices, Forcing Quick Upgrades

Netflix will end support for its app on the PlayStation 3 and several older smart TVs and set-top boxes effective March 2, 2026, leaving affected users about two weeks to upgrade. The move expands its phase‑out of outdated hardware (including BT Z4/G4 boxes) to streamline performance and security. Netflix has previously dropped support for legacy devices (e.g., 2011–2013 Sony TVs, first‑gen Apple TV), and users are advised to switch to newer streaming sticks or modern consoles to avoid disruption.

Konami Delists Metal Gear Solid 4 and Peace Walker on PS Store Ahead of Master Collection Vol. 2

Konami removed Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots (PS3) and Peace Walker HD (PS3/PSP) from the PS Store without notice. Existing owners can re-download, but new purchases are blocked. The move appears timed with the upcoming Metal Gear Solid Master Collection Volume 2, due August 27, and has drawn criticism for removing access before the compilation’s release even as its goal is to broaden availability on modern hardware.

Shawn Layden Reflects on PlayStation's Evolution and Rivalries

Former PlayStation chief Shawn Layden reflects on the PS3 as Sony's "Icarus" moment, acknowledging it as a learning experience where the company "flew too close to the sun." Despite its initial struggles and high costs, the PS3 eventually became profitable, teaching Sony valuable lessons that influenced the more successful PS4. Layden emphasizes that the PS4's focus on being a top-tier gaming machine, rather than a multimedia device, was key to its success.

PlayStation Fans Disappointed by November Announcements and Streaming-Only Resistance

PlayStation fans were disappointed after Sony's latest announcement, which included PS3 games Resistance: Fall of Man and Resistance 2 in the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog, led to false hopes of backward compatibility with PS5 and PS4. Instead, these games will only be available via cloud streaming, a feature that many fans dislike. Despite ongoing requests, Sony has not made PS3 backward compatibility a reality, likely due to the PS3's complex architecture.
