Play! is a [[High/Low_level_emulation|high-level]] [[PlayStation 2]] emulator that runs on almost every major platform, including recently gaining Linux support (Ubuntu), while BSD and other Linux-based OS support should theoretically exist, it hasn't yet been confirmed. Its compatibility and features are pretty far behind [[PCSX2]] still, but quite a few commercial titles can be run on all supported platforms, except the iOS port does not support input yet. Since Play! is high-level, it doesn't need an actual PS2 BIOS to run games; and Play! is not a plugin-based emulator so there are very little settings or setup needed to run games, aside from installing/picking games.

Play! is a high-level, multi-platform PlayStation 2 emulator. Its compatibility and features are pretty far behind PCSX2, but quite a few commercial titles will run on all supported platforms, though the iOS port does not yet support input. Since Play! is high-level, it doesn't need an actual PS2 BIOS to run games. And because Play! is not a plugin-based emulator, settings and game setup are streamlined in comparison to PCSX2.

Play! is available for several platforms, both on desktop and mobile. It is the first ever PlayStation 2 emulator to run on the ARM architecture. The Android port includes support for gamepads and Android-x86. While there is an iOS port available, compatibility is low [1] with no input support at this time. On the desktop, Play! recently added support for Ubuntu Linux.[citation needed]
