In an age where most video games tend to get ported or remastered at some point, there’s a dizzying array of PS2 games that still haven’t been released on modern platforms, even if they were released on other platforms at the time. In a couple of rare cases as well, they’ve been available on PC at some point but are now extremely difficult to find and make work, or have been delisted entirely. With that out of the way, let’s take a look at 10 PS2 games that are regrettably stuck on old hardware.

Admittedly, I’m not the fighting game savant at this site, or even in my own circle of friends. Crucially, I think everyone plays more of this genre than myself, though I was a bit of a fighting game fiend growing up. That lack of experience didn’t impede me when it came to last year’s Street Fighter 6, however, which brought the long-running fighting series to the newest generation of console with stunning results. Street Fighter 6 broadly smoothed out a lot of the issues players had with its predecessor and packed in so much love and veneration for the franchise’s history that people couldn’t help but adore it. Now, it’s continuing its little comeback tour with a legendary roster addition, along with features built to help its fanbase continue their own personal journeys with the game.
