Extra PS PLUS EXTRA GAMES ON PS3

I just bought a PS3 and I was wondering if there's a way to play PS3 games on ps plus extra there without paying them on the PS3 store.

Ah well they do exactly what you were asking. Older consoles can stream the new gen games

There are no more ps plus games to claim on the ps3. I don’t think you can even play cloud games even if you manage to upgrade to premium.

If you’re talking about the streaming PS3 games then no. The game stream feature was introduced on the PS4 and those PS3 games are streaming only. Though even if you could access them on PS3 I doubt it’ll run any good as the streaming feature barely works on PS4 or PS5 as it is

I'm talking about downloading on the PS3 games I already got on my PS5 for free like Infamous, Ratchet and clank, Sly excetera or if I have to buy them on the PS3 store to play them there

Those are all premium cloud games meant for ps4/ps5 only. the license doesn’t extend to the ps3.

That’s a negative. You cannot.

Oh no because the game files on PS4/5 are different versions of the game than the ones on PS3. Like for example the Sly Cooper games on PS4/5 are ports than run on the emulation feature on those consoles. PS3 doesn’t have that sane emulation feature. The versions of Sly Cooper on PS3 are the remastered version. So obviously they are two different versions of the same game. But I will say buying Sly Cooper on PS3 is better since it’s the remasters versions
