Playstation 3 had the longest time to shine before its successor launched in 2013. In total PS3 had a lifespan of around 11 years.

The third generation of the console by Sony had over 1400 video game titles exclusive to their platform.

PS3, the successor to the popular gaming console PS2  is the first console to use Blu-ray Disc as a primary storage medium.

It provided room for the game devs to expand on including more details in the game.

In any case, if you missed getting hands-on PS3, you can still play  PS3 games on an android phone using a PS3 Emulator for Android.

Beware of Fake PS3 Emulators for Android

There are a lot of PS2 emulators being passed off as for PS3 including some fake emulators.

The list includes PSP, PS1 and Gameboy emulators as well. Let us show you some of the emulators that work for PS2, PS1, and even PS3 but for PC only.

1. Mednaffen

This open-source emulator is for PS1 (PSX) and consoles other than PS3. It’s a command-based user-interface drive average computer users away. 

The alternative is user-friendly Mednaffe, a front-end based emulator for PS2. We discussed it earlier in the post, regarding GBA emulators.

2. RPCS3

While the emulator works for PS3, it is only available for PCs and does not work on android phones.

The open-source emulator for PS3 works flawlessly for several video-games. Try it for yourself here.

3. ESX [ FAKE ]

The website comes off as elegant when you visit it for the first time. The download button is right on the homepage, which upon clicking takes you on a journey of ad surveys and intrusive ads. 

After treading through various ads and surveys, you will be able to download a zip file, which is password protected. 

In conclusion in the end this is not a ps3 emulator for android.

4. PPSSPP

This versatile emulator works for PS1 and PSP only.

You can run PSP games on Android with this emulator. It has a Gold version as well for supporting the developers. 

Unfortunately, this is not a ps3 emulator.


Why are very few PS3 emulators available for Android

Playstation games having becoming resource-demanding, as the game’s progress to be better in gameplay, graphics, and mechanics. Even PS2’s most celebrated emulator PCSX2 is far from perfection.

Porting a game from console to PC takes a long term as it involves reverse-engineering for a complex gaming architecture. Imagine that for thousands of game titles on a less powered device as Android.


Over to You

These were the only PS3 emulators for Android that actually work, although in early development stages.

Watch out this space as we add more emulators to the list when they become available.
