Hold Your Horses, Lieutenant! Can You REALLY Become Human... on PS3?
Ah, Detroit: Become Human. A game that asks the big questions: are androids people? Can they make their own choices? And most importantly, can I play this epic narrative adventure on my trusty, dusty PlayStation 3?
Well, buckle up, Connor (or Kara, or Markus, depending on your favorite flavor of existential crisis), because we're about to dive into the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth (as far as backwards compatibility goes).
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
The Reality of the Situation (or, Why Your PS3 Might Not Be Upgrading to CyberLife)
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
Here's the not-so-fun fact: Detroit: Become Human is a PlayStation 4 exclusive. That means it was built specifically for the PS4's hardware and fancy-schmancy features. So, unless your PS3 has secretly sprouted a mechanical arm and learned to hack into the Sonyverse, you're out of luck.
Tip: Make mental notes as you go.
But Don't Despair, Fellow Human (or Android)! There's Hope Yet!
Tip: Reread sections you didn’t fully grasp.
Now, before you shed a tear (or leak some coolant, if you're more of a Markus kin), there are a couple of alternatives:
- Ascend to PS4 Nirvana: If you're feeling the itch for a Detroit: Become Human fix, consider taking the plunge and upgrading to a PlayStation 4. You won't regret the stunning graphics, immersive gameplay, and the power to decide the fate of these digital souls (and maybe even your own emotional well-being).
- Become a PC Master Race Recruit: Did you know Detroit: Become Human eventually became available for PC in December 2019? So, if you have a capable gaming computer, you can still experience this choose-your-own-adventure masterpiece.
Bonus Round: Witnessing the Power of PS Now (with a BIG asterisk)
There's a service called PlayStation Now that lets you stream PS4 games to your PS3. However, availability can be wonky, and Detroit: Become Human might not always be included in the library. So, this option comes with a hefty dose of "check first, cry later."
