PlayStation Classic by Sony was released in December 2018. The gaming console was launched especially to play 90’s games like Final Fantasy VII, Tekken 3, Jumping Flash, Grand Theft Auto, and more. The console is preloaded with 20 games and you can’t download any games from PlayStation Network. As the console is dedicated to 90’s games, it doesn’t have a normal PlayStation UI. To add or download games to PlayStation Classic, you need to jailbreak or hack the PS console.
