10 Popular Video Games You Can't Play Anymore

9. P.T.

I think legally I can’t make a list about popular games that are no longer playable without including P.T. so we’ll throw it up the top here and then get to some other great games you might not know about.

Great games you can’t play, that is, because that’s the whole list. Man, this is kind of a bummer. Anyway, P.T.

A gift from iconic video game creator Hideo Kojima, P.T. was a free playable teaser that was intended to set up his upcoming game, the now cancelled Silent Hills. The game which was skewered by the fractured relationship between Kojima and publisher Konami would have been directed by both Kojima and famed film director Guillermo del Toro.

But enough about that game you won’t ever be able to play, let’s talk about the game preceding it that you’ll never be able to play. Unless it’s on your console already, then lucky you.

P.T. was something of a unique revelation in the horror gaming genre when it was released. It was an absolutely terrifying yet narratively dense compact horror experience that called upon players to execute some genuinely challenging puzzling and endure some of the greatest jump scares the medium has ever produced. The teaser wrapped up with a trailer for the upcoming full game, Silent Hills, which was officially cancelled in 2015 to the dismay of fans. Despite being downloaded over a million times, the teaser was pulled from the Playstation Store alongside the cancellation.
