LOS ANGELES, [Date] – Sony Interactive Entertainment revealed today that PlayStation Plus subscribers will soon access a selection of classic PS2 games. The expanded library includes fan-favorite titles such as *Star Wars: The Clone Wars*, *Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus*, and *Ape Escape 3*. The update aims to blend nostalgia with modern gaming conveniences.
The company confirmed the games have been upgraded for newer hardware. Visual improvements include higher resolutions and smoother performance. Players can also earn trophies in these classic titles, a feature not available in original PS2 releases. Sony stated the move reflects feedback from longtime PlayStation fans seeking easier access to retro content.
John Smith, Head of PlayStation Plus Content, shared his enthusiasm. “Bringing these beloved games to PlayStation Plus honors our legacy. We want both longtime fans and new players to experience these classics in their best form.” The PS2 library will grow over time, with more titles added quarterly.
PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium tiers will include the PS2 catalog at no additional cost. Subscribers can stream or download the games starting November 15. Sony confirmed regional availability may vary slightly, but a global rollout is expected by December.
The announcement follows recent updates to PlayStation Plus, including game trials and exclusive discounts. The service’s revamped structure, launched in 2022, now serves over 50 million subscribers. Adding PS2 games strengthens its appeal against competitors like Xbox Game Pass.
PS2 remains the best-selling console of all time, with over 155 million units sold. Many of its iconic games have yet to receive remasters or remakes. Sony’s decision to preserve and enhance these titles addresses growing demand for retro gaming experiences.
