With the PS5 backwards compatibility, PS4 games will work perfectly on both edition of the PS5. The PlayStation 5 also supports cross-play between PS4 and PS5 players and allows PS5 players to use PS4 saves as well. PS4 controllers will also work on PS5 but with a small catch, they will only work when played with PS4 games on the PS5.
From the launch date, PS5 owners will be able to pick through a PS4 +4000 titles library and most will work with PS5’S boost mode – making those favorite game of yours even better with enhanced performance and higher resolution.
It was confirmed by Sony that the PlayStation 5 will not natively play PS1, PS2 and PS3 games. However, many older games are available digitally on the PlayStation Network so you can keep playing your favorite classics.
