Because it never could. They PS4 was never backward compatible
The problem is likely a scratched disc if other games play fine
To Play PS3 games you must have the Game Disc or Purchase the Game Download from the Playstation Store exclusively
get a disc called magicswap. it works for imported games.
The Playstation 3 is actually a Blu-Ray player
If your PlayStation 3 can play PS2 games, just put your PS2 disc in. However, these games were never released for the PS3.
Some PS3 games have online play. When you own the game, have an online connection, and the game disc is in the machine you can play online
My first guess is that there must be scratches on the disc that make the reading laser inside the Playstation 3 unable to play the game
No, you cannot. Playstation games only work on the correct Playstation model. Wii games only work on the Wii. The same applies to other consoles. Placing the wrong disc into the wrong console can actually either scratch the disc badly or damage the lens inside the console.
Yes a person can play playstation games on a playstation 2 .i have a playstation 2 and i can play ps 1 games on it.
You can not play PlayStation 3 games on a PlayStation 1, but you can play PlayStation 1 games on a PlayStation 3. All of the PlayStation consoles are backwards compatible.
The Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP), first released in 2004, cannot play old games because it introduced a new storage medium, known as the Universal Media Disc (UMD). It was developed in-house by Sony from MiniDisc specifically for use in the PSP. As such, games released before the introduction of the PSP, such as those for the PlayStation and PlayStation 2, cannot be played on the PSP. However, the PlayStation 3 does offer a workaround to the problem through its Remote Play function. Using a Remote Play between a PlayStation 3 and PSP over Wi-Fi allows the user to play certain PlayStation format games on the PSP by inserting the disc into the PlayStation 3 system.
You cannot play Playstation 4 games on a Playstation 4 console. You are also unable to play Playstation 3 games on the Playstation 4.
