Wasn't the matrix based in the paradise that was 1999? I'm pretty sure our AI overlords wouldn't let things go up to the point that PS5s existed, easier to just restart the 90s over and over.

No, the paradise matrix was a failure. Crops were lost. So they changed it to take place at the height of human civilization, just before AI was invented and started the war that destroyed the planet. Humans need to feel pain and suffering in order to accept reality.

But you're right; no PS5 in the Matrix.

What about the PS2? Can I still pay San Andreas?

The Matrix: 2001

GTA: San Andreas: 2004

Nope :(

GTA3 is the latest game in the series that might be in it.

Well, at least Doom and Doom 2 still exist.
