The PSP was a marvel of its time, offering console-like power in a portable package. But many of its best games remain trapped in the past, hoki 99 waiting for remakes or modern ports that could reintroduce them to new audiences. As Sony increasingly explores remasters and reimaginings on PlayStation consoles, it’s the perfect time to look at PSP games that are ripe for revival.

One of the most requested titles for a remake is Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII, which recently received a modern update—but the PSP version still holds its own for fans of the original experience. Other RPGs like Jeanne d’Arc and Brave Story: New Traveler were critically praised but never reached the popularity they deserved. These games had rich worlds, strong writing, and systems that could easily be refined for modern hardware.

Action and platforming titles like Daxter and Syphon Filter: Logan’s Shadow also remain high on fans’ wishlists. Their gameplay was tight and engaging, but limited by the PSP’s single analog nub and screen resolution. With the DualSense controller and PS5 capabilities, these games could be transformed into full-scale remakes, preserving the spirit while greatly enhancing the playability.

The PSP may be a retired console, but its library is a goldmine of ideas, characters, and gameplay mechanics. As Sony continues to invest in nostalgia-driven content for modern platforms, revisiting the best PSP games for full remakes could not only please longtime fans—it could also introduce a new generation to handheld gems they never got the chance to experience.
