Night Dive does release most of its remasters on console, but it still mostly focuses on PC classics, particularly first person games. Hamster on the other hand has been making essentially "archival" versions of tons of arcade games. I feel like we don't really have a company devoted to doing the same thing for specifically for console classics. Not full-on remakes, but just getting the original version of a game to look and run as cleanly as possible on modern platforms with some QOL improvements. It's the closest thing video games have to Criterion releases of movies or something.
Bluepoint started out doing this with remasters like Metal Gear, Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, etc. But they eventually moved onto full remakes, and Sony bought them right? Some publishers are doing something like this with their own games, but the treatment and execution is sort of scattershot. I just think it'd be nice if there was another company that could do the same thing for somewhat obscure but beloved PlayStation or Xbox or N64 games.
