Understandably, one of the biggest questions about PlayStation’s latest console is whether or not it will be compatible with PS4 games. Although we don’t know how much exactly the PS5 is going to cost, it’s definitely not going to be cheap. So it makes sense that gamers want to know whether the PS5 will provide extra value by being backwards compatible with PS4 games.<\/p>\n

Plus, there are a lot of fantastic games for the PS4. For someone who’s never owned a PlayStation console, backwards compatibility with the PS4 is a huge factor to consider before buying a PS5.<\/p>\n

PlayStation is constantly releasing new information as we get closer to release, so the jury’s still out on some things. But read on for everything we know so far!<\/p>\n

Will the PS5 be backwards compatible?<\/h2>\n

The short answer is YES! The PS5 will eventually have backwards compatibility with over 4,000 PS4 games. Sony is trying to go through each individual title with the developers and publishers to ensure that each game can be played seamlessly on the new console. Although they have quite a large library of games to go through, Sony seems confident that they can get the job done.<\/p>\n

Although not all 4,000 PS4 titles will be compatible with the PS5 initially, Sony’s goal is to have the top 100 games from the PS4 compatible by the PS5 launch date. They determined the top 100 games on PS4 by how much time was spent playing them by players across the world.<\/p>\n

Sony has previously stated that PS4 games played on the PS5 console will be improved by increased frame rates and a higher resolution. So all the games we know and love on the PS4 will be getting a face lift for the PS5.<\/p>\n

List of PS4 games that will be backwards compatible with the PS5<\/h2>\n

Although Mark Cerny, the lead architect for the PS5, has confirmed that almost 100 of the most-played titles on the PS4 will be compatible with the PS5 at launch, he hasn’t specified exactly which games those will be.<\/p>\n

We can only assume that the titles below will be part of that list. If you’re wondering whether your favorite game will be included, check out a list of the most popular or most-played titles on the PS4 and you can get a pretty good idea of what might be compatible.<\/p>\n
