Is the PS2 still playable in 2026?
After months of having no real motivation or excitement to play my PS5, I’ve been thinking about picking up a PS2 again and replaying the games I loved growing up. Last week I finally pulled the trigger and got a great deal on one from eBay and picked up a few classics I used to enjoy.
Now I’m wondering, is this actually something I’ll stick with, or is it just nostalgia that’ll wear off pretty quickly?
I’m sure a lot of it is rose-tinted memories but at the same time I’m hoping there’s still something genuinely playable and enjoyable there beyond just the novelty factor. I didn’t spend much, so it’s not a big deal if it doesn’t last but I’m curious what others think.
Do you still regularly play your PS2 in 2026? Does it hold up, or is it more of a once-in-a-while nostalgia hit?
