This remastering began in 2009 with the release of God of War Collection it originally started as only PlayStation 2 (PS2) games being remastered for PlayStation 3 (PS3). Some HD remasters have also been released individually or in bundles as downloads on the PlayStation Store others are released exclusively as downloads. The remastering of the games include updated graphics, new textures, and Trophy support, and some of the remastered games released on PlayStation 3 have included 3D and PlayStation Move support. These games are not direct ports, but remastered versions in high-definition, to take advantage of the newer consoles' capabilities.

The latter are individual PlayStation Portable games republished on Blu-ray. The former consists of multiple PlayStation 2 games compiled on one Blu-ray Disc. A number of related programs exist, the most prominent two being 'Classics HD' (also known as 'HD Collection') and 'PSP Remasters'. Sony has released a number of previously released PlayStation video games, remastered in high-definition (HD) for their newer consoles, a form of porting. Official Collection and Classics HD banners used on PlayStation game covers.
