During the development stage for its third home console, the PlayStation 3, Sony expressed their intent to build upon the functionality of its predecessor by creating a new interconnected service that keeps users constantly in touch with a "PlayStation World" network. In March 2006, Sony officially introduced its unified online service, tentatively named "PlayStation Network Platform". A list of supporting features was announced at the Tokyo Game Show later the same year.<ref>[[Wiki:PlayStation_Network#History|Wikipedia: PlayStation Network #History]]</ref>
Netplay in RPCS3 was introduced by GalCiv, who developed [https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Help:Netplay RPCN] (an open-source server that emulates the P2P match-making done on the PlayStation 3). RPCN can also be used to communicate with [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wn2EkQj_bZpgrT-xiDbqHkx91jcCHn34nXkl2Sv0GOs/edit#gid=0 private servers] for games that require a dedicated server for multiplayer features. In this regard, games that require a custom server will not work unless a fan-made, [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Wn2EkQj_bZpgrT-xiDbqHkx91jcCHn34nXkl2Sv0GOs/edit#gid=0 private server] is created. This is outside the scope of the emulator and will have to be developed by the community.
