The best PlayStation 2 you can use in 2026… might not actually be a PlayStation 2.
Today, I’m giving my physical PS2 collection a new life while preserving the experience that made the console special.

GameSir made a budget Xbox controller that feels built for retro games.
A great D-pad, Hall Effect sticks, trigger stops, and programmable rear buttons make the T7 Pro surprisingly useful for everything from modern games to emulation.

RPCS3 just made PS3 emulation way more interesting.
You can now play PS3 games straight from the original disc, which makes a living room PC or SteamOS setup feel a lot more like using a real PlayStation 3.

State of Play used to feel like an event.
Now I’m watching PlayStation showcases wondering which games I’ll eventually buy on Steam or Switch 2 instead.
Something about this just doesn’t feel the same anymore.

From pricing and discoverability to ownership and resale, there’s a LOT Sony needs to fix.

Between Game Key Cards, digital downloads, and what “physical” ownership even means now, building a collection on Nintendo’s new system just doesn’t feel the same.
