It has become quite difficult to play the PS3’s catalog on modern machines unless you own the console. Indeed, on PS5, Sony only offers a selection of titles via the cloud accessible to PlayStation Plus Premium subscribers. There is no native backward compatibility at this time.
Fortunately, there are projects like RPCS3 that are changing the game. This open-source PlayStation 3 emulator for PC runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, and FreeBSD. In their latest update, the creators of RPCS3 revealed that 2,513 of the 3,562 PS3 titles listed (70%) are fully playable.
For now, the remaining 30% still suffer from major bugs or cannot be launched at all.
