Sony PS5 and Backward Compatibility

Sony jumped into the gaming industry almost 26 years ago. Since then, Sony has launched games and introduced the game consoles, PlayStation, to entertain the game lovers. These days game lovers are anxiously waiting for PlayStation 5, which will be launching soon. Over a year ago, Sony confirmed that PS4 games would be playable on PS5. Later in this march, Sony shared only this information that the PS5 owner can play only 100 most-played PS4 games from their PS games library. Later, Sony added that 4000+ PS4 games would be playable on PS5, but they didn’t mention anything about the games earlier than PS4.

But now some information from Ubisoft’s website is not what users want. This information revealed that PlayStation 5 would only support the PlayStation 4 games. There will be no support for thousands of PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2, or PlayStation 3 games.

Sony announced in 2019 about the PlayStation 5 as the successor to the PlayStation 4. Since then, Sony didn’t clear the fate of the games that Sony launched before 2013. The information revealed from Ubisoft’s website strengthens these rumors that PlayStation 5 will not support the PS3, PS2 or PS1 games. If users find out there is a chance for extending backward compatibility using software, they may use third-party apps, which is not best practice. So, if there is a chance, Sony should do it in their end.

Wrap Up

Compare with Xbox, Sony PlayStation always has a good stand with users with its software features. They have some excellent plans on the software side like PlayStation Plus, which will offer you two free games monthly. There is a reason for the limitation in backward compatibility. Not all games are getting PlayStation hits. When previous generation games are considered essential, they always go for the Remastered version based on user reviews and ratings. There are already most of the popular games that have Remastered version in PS4. When PS5 gets only PS4 backward compatibility, it may not affect most of the users. Also, Sony may release some popular classic games.

The problem here is users who have a bunch of old collections have to repurchase the games if there is no Backward Compatibility. When it is a software-related feature, Sony will surely try their best. What are your thoughts about Sony PS5 backward compatibility only with PS4 Games? Did you feel it is a no big deal for you? Comment below.
