As per a Reddit post, Sony is working with an Emulation expert company called Implicit Conversions which is entitled to bring more PS1/PSP classics to PS4/PS5. The emulation company Implicit Conversions boasts former Ubisoft employees alongside talent from Sony, where some members were instrumental in developing the PCSX2 PS2 emulator
Implicit Conversions, a studio working on PS2 emulation (unclear for what platform), gained unexpected attention due to a retracted interview on TimeExtension claiming they bring PS2 games to PS5. However, they retracted those statements back, but the Reddit post clarifies what the company is working on.
As mentioned in the Reddit post, Implicit Conversions’ website description has been updated to reflect that they are now working on bringing games from the original PlayStation 1, PlayStation Portable, and PlayStation 2 to the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox consoles.
In addition to that, Implicit Conversions’ LinkedIn page mentions that they are collaborating with Sony Interactive Entertainment / PlayStation to bring PS1, PS2, and PSP games to the PS4 and PS5. The information further states that Disney Interactive, Bandai Namco, Square Enix, Konami, Capcom, Team17, and Bend Studio are among their clients and publishers.
Despite the PS2 emulation confusion, PS Plus subscribers remain eager for more PS2 classics on the service, as it’s been a constant request since the PS Plus update.
Implicit Conversions is a consulting company founded in 2019 by retro-gaming enthusiasts. They develop the Syrup Emulation Engine to bring classic games like NES and PS1 titles to modern consoles like PlayStation 5 and Nintendo Switch, allowing gamers to relive past favourites.
With the PlayStation Plus Premium tier, one can access to a library of classic PlayStation, PlayStation 2, and PSP games that you can download and play directly on your PS4 or PS5 console. This is the tier you’d want for PS2 and PS1 classics.
