The PSP era delivered dozens of iconic titles that are still praised for their creativity and quality, but many of these games remain stranded on outdated hardware. As modern gamers rediscover retro titles or Dragon Tiger clamor for remakes, PSP games have become prime candidates for remastering. These hidden gems are not just nostalgic relics—they are some of the best games Sony has ever published on a handheld platform, and they deserve a second life.

Killzone: Liberation was one of the PSP’s most polished shooters, offering fast-paced combat, smart AI, and a striking art style that still holds up today. A modern remaster could bring this game back with twin-stick controls, updated visuals, and online multiplayer. It’s a perfect example of a PlayStation game that offered console-quality design in a compact format without sacrificing intensity or strategy.

Another title that stands out is Jeanne d’Arc, a tactical RPG that mixed fantasy and historical elements in a beautifully animated adventure. Developed by Level-5, this game had all the markings of a cult classic: turn-based strategy, deep customization, and an engaging story. It’s rarely mentioned today, but it remains one of the PSP’s best games—one that would thrive if given a modern release with visual upgrades and touchscreen enhancements.

Even Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror deserves mention. It proved the PSP could handle stealth-action gameplay with cinematic flair. With a few quality-of-life improvements, remastered textures, and revamped controls, it could find new fans among players craving spy thrillers and tactical gameplay. These PSP games may have been confined to the small screen, but their ambition and design rival many modern releases. A new generation deserves the chance to experience them.
