PS Plus Premium subscribers get the pleasure of playing some great PS2 classics on modern consoles. Games like Dino Crisis, and Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoon are offered on the service for no additional cost. Sony partner Implicit Conversions has worked with a company to bring these classics back to new platforms, and have compiled a list of the most requested games to bring back to life.
The Simpsons: Hit & Run and GTA: Vice City Stories most requested PS Plus Premium Classics
Implicit Conversions’ list of most requested games were compiled using 1,400 requests from its Discord community. Here are the top 10 PS2 and PSP games players would like to see come to PS Plus Premium:
- The Simpsons: Hit & Run
- GTA: Vice City Stories
- God of War: Ghost of Sparta
- Legend of Legaia
- Ape Escape 3
- Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoon
- Silent Hill 2
- GTA: Liberty City Stories

The Simpsons: Hit & Run may not be the most critically acclaimed game, but it is most certainly one of the most beloved. Since its release in 2003 for PS2, it has garnered a significant cult following. A fan even fully remade the game using Unreal Engine 5. When it released, it received a 78 on the review aggregate site Metacritic.
GTA: Vice City Stories, and God of War: Ghost of Sparta took the second and third spot respectively. Both were released for the PSP, and are arguably two of the best games for PlayStation’s first portable. Both were also critically lauded, each receiving an 86 on Metacritic.
One of the games on this list are currently already available for PS Plus Premium subscribers. Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoon was added to the service in June 2024. The other PS2 classic added to the service the same month was Tomb Raider Legend.
PlayStation just announced its latest PS Plus Premium Game Catalog entries for January 2025. It includes Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings, and Medievil 2.
