How to play Fallout New Vegas on PS5 and PS4 — here's your only option

So, you want to earn those Fallout New Vegas trophies? Well, let us guide you on how to play Fallout New Vegas on PS5 and PS4. New Vegas is considered to be one of the best PS3 games ever created and now you can add its platinum trophy to your collection, no PS3 required.

How to play Fallout New Vegas using your PS Plus subscription

So, if you want to play Fallout New Vegas on your PS5 and PS4, you will need a PS Plus Premium subscription. This is the only way to access the game on PS5 and PS4. Sony reserves PS Plus Premium for all of those PlayStation Classics from the PS1, PS2, PS3, and PSP era. For PS3 games, you can only stream the games which requires a strong and stable internet connection.To find Fallout New Vegas on your PS5 or PS4 you can open the PS Plus tab and search through the catalog of classic Premium titles or you can simply search the game name on the PS Store. Then, if you have a PS Plus Premium subscription, all you'll have to do is press 'Stream.'

While it's not the most ideal way to play New Vegas on PS5 or PS4, it certainly beats digging your PS3 out of storage or actually having to purchase a PS3 in this day and age. There is nothing wrong with dusting off your old hardware of course, it's just not always a viable option. However, the DualSense for the PS5 or PS4 is of much nicer quality than that of the PS3 controller. Those lightweight Sixaxis controllers are showing their age now, in my opinion.

With Fallout 4's rejig for PS5 and PS4, my interest in the series has certainly been re-sparked. It's been ages since I visited those radioactive wastelands that overflow with Deathclaws and other horrors. So, I want a refresher on the series and Fallout New Vegas' slightly different take on the series would be perfect.

Having completed both Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 (earning the platinum in the latter), it feels like the perfect opportunity to pick up New Vegas and really get invested in it. Hopefully, I can understand why so many players out there consider it to be the best of the best when it comes to the Fallout series. Maybe it'll usurp my love for Fallout 3 — something I never thought would be possible.

Will you jump on New Vegas before Fallout 4 makes a triumphant return? Or are you waiting to pour all your energies into Fallout 4?
