PS3 Emulation might be in the works for PS Plus

Sony recently announced that Playstation Plus Premium version would also include access to PS3 games. Players can't directly play PS3 games at the moment but that might change if the emulation is introduced to PlayStation Plus Premium.

This would be a good thing and something that must have been feature since we had PS4. Currently the games have to be remastered so that players can play those on the latest gen consoles. This way players can simply use the same game they owned on the previous gen console and play it on the latest console that they have.

Console players have always had to deal with limitations like these. Where PC players can still play some very old games on their PCs without any question or hassle of compatibility. Finally it seems that the console world is moving ahead.

But this feature will come with a hefty price even though users can avail some extended features.
