Playing PS2 Games on PS4: What You Need to Know About PKG Files

The PlayStation 2 boasts one of the greatest game libraries of all time. Many gamers wish to replay classics like Shadow of the Colossus, God of War, or Persona 4 on their PS4. While Sony never made the PS4 fully backward compatible with PS2 discs, a selection of PS2 games has been re-released digitally on the PlayStation Store as PS2 Classics. These are distributed as PKG files (the standard PlayStation package format) when downloaded.

Conversion: Using a PC tool like the PS2-FPKG Converter to select the ISO, add custom icons or backgrounds, and generate the .pkg file.

  • God of War
  • Shadow of the Colossus
  • Devil May Cry

To play these PS2 classics on your PS4, you'll need to download them in PKG format. Here are some links to get you started:

  • Kingdom Hearts
  • Final Fantasy X
  • Dragon Quest VIII
