PlayStation 2 Games on Android

The PlayStation 2 list is a fun mix of old favorites. The Grand Theft Auto trilogy and Bully are official releases you can buy on Google Play. And then there are fan decompilations like ICO and Budokai Tenkaichi 3, which take more work to set up.

So it helps to know which kind you're looking at. The official ports install like any other app. The fan projects need game files from your own PS2 disc, and some of them are still early in development.

Each game page spells out what you'll need. Take a peek at the status badge too, since a few of these are still works in progress.
