PCSX2 is a free and open-source PlayStation 2 emulator for Windows, Linux, and macOS^[5] that supports a wide range of PlayStation 2 video games with a high level of compatibility and functionality. Although PCSX2 can closely mirror the original gameplay experience on the PlayStation 2, PCSX2 supports a number of improvements over gameplay on a traditional PlayStation 2, such as the ability to use resolutions up to 12 times larger than native, anti-aliasing and texture filtering.
