PlayStation 5 Will Reportedly Natively Play PlayStation, PlayStation 2, 3 Or PS4 Games

The past couple of weeks have been a period of great news for PlayStation 5 fans, with Sony Interactive Entertainment President Jim Ryan officially announcing the arrival of the much-awaited next-generation gaming console in time for holiday 2020. After that, the dev kit that has been floating online for quite some time has been confirmed by an insider to have been shipped to game developers. But all the great news seemed to change when a report leaked, which seemed to vaguely indicate that earlier claims about PS5’s amazing backward compatibility were misplaced.

However, it appears that things take an amazing turn recently about the backward compatibility issue of the PlayStation 5. As reported by Mystic, A Twitter user named PSErebus shared that gamers should not sell their PlayStation to PlayStation 4 games. This hints that something is brewing in connection with the PlayStation 5’s backward compatibility feature.

PSErebus has proven his credibility in the gaming industry, especially in revealing details about PlayStation. In the past, he revealed the release date of “The Last of Us 2” long before the official announcement of the game. The tweet also aligns with what Patrick Keplek recently shared about the PlayStation 5.

It is worth noting that Keplek said that the next generation gaming console is about the past as much as it is about the future. With the ability to play all PlayStation games natively, it would be massive for Sony’s upcoming console, considering how huge its library would be at launch. Earlier, Sony strongly hinted that PS4 titles would be playable on the PlayStation 5, so the backward compatibility claim might have after all some grain of truth in it.

Sony has yet to make an official announcement about the rumored backward compatibility feature of the PlayStation 5. For now, we suggest that you take these claims about the feature with a pinch of salt. The PlayStation 5 will have many improvements over its predecessor, such as faster loading times and a controller with haptic feedback.
