“PlayStation Home was a very special game to me back on the PS3,” Nagato says. The goal? “To keep PlayStation Home alive for generations to come.” For me, Home has been the only social world that excelled”, says Nagato, a content developer for Destination Home who mainly works on restoring Home’s online spaces, creating videos to show off the project, and documenting the process of preserving data in the archive. “The PS3 was light-years ahead in terms of its initial vision. Following its recent success in bringing back Motorstorm’s online functionality, more of its projects have come to light including Destination Home, a PlayStation Home recreation project.
PSOne is a group of developers that look to bring back the online functions of PS3 games with similar infrastructures. A certain group of dedicated modders would be inclined to agree with you. You could even argue it hasn’t been done right since.

Although it eventually met a sudden end when the PS4 was introduced, it was beloved by its community.
