Question

How do you connect a PS3 disc to a PS4 console?

Community Answer

You can't do that; you need to buy the games on PS now to play PS3 games and also be connected to the internet.

Can I play a PS3 disc on a PS4?

Community Answer

No. Playstation Now is the only way to play Playstation 3 games currently. Some PS3 games are not on the Playstation Now service currently, just so you know.

Question

How can I play PS2 Games on a PS3 or a PS4?

Community Answer

Some older models of the PS3 are fully backward-compatible with PS2 games, so if your model is one of the old ones, you can simply just pop in the game disc and it should play the game just fine. For PS4, you can only use the PSNow subscription to play older games.

Switch to the PS4 and log into the PlayStation store. Scroll the left bar down to PS3 to PS4. Select your game then add to cart, being sure to check that the price differential is correct. Select purchase and your transfer is complete
