See also: List of PlayStation games compatible with PlayStation 3

This is a list of PlayStation 2 games compatible with certain models of PlayStation 3. Initial PlayStation 3 models released in North America, Japan, and Asia contained both the PlayStation 2's CPU and GPU, while subsequent models contained only the GPU, and the PlayStation 2 backwards compatibility with physical discs was removed entirely in later models. However, all PlayStation 3 models can play some PlayStation 1 games via physical discs. This is accomplished entirely via software emulation and does not differ between models.

Certain PS2 peripherals, as well as other PS1 peripherals that are compatible with PS2 games, cannot be used with PS3 systems, due to the lack of ports for PS accessories. Memory Card saves can be transferred to and from physical Memory Cards with the use of the Memory Card Adaptor (CECHZM1). As a sidenote, the upscaling and smoothing options do not work when certain PS2 titles have been selected to run in progressive scan (480p).
