The rumors of extensive backward compatibility for the PS5 can finally be put to rest, as it has officially been confirmed tha🤡t the system will not support games from PS1, PS2, or PS3 consoles.
There have been rumors circulating about the PﷺS5 being backward compatible with all olde💃r PlayStation systems since the console was first announced. This has been spurred on by leaked patents, which suggested that the PS5 had hardware dedicated to perfectly emulating those older systems. It was recently stated on the Ubisoft website that the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PS5 was ܫonly backward compatible with PS4 games, but Ubisoft quickly༒ removed that message, leaving the status of compatibility with older systems in question.
We now know the status of the PS5's backward compatibility, thanks to a statement made by PlayStation president and CEO Jim Ryan in an interview with . According to Ryan, the PS5 will not include backward compatibility for any system older than the PS4. The reason for this is because Sony wanted to concentrate on other aspects of the hardware, such as its DualSense 🍰controller and internal SSD.
Sony has been open about the fact that most of the PS4's library will be available on the PS5 through backward compatibility, and fans can get instant access to some of the best PS4 games through 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the upcoming PlayStation Plus Collect✃io๊n. The absence of older gam🦋es still stings, especially when Microsoft has made such an effort to brin🦩g original Xbox and Xbox 360 games forward to its modern systems.
The PS4 lacked any kind of backward c♏ompatibility at launch, which led to several "Definitive Editions" of existing PS3 games that had minimal improvements but were released at full price. Sony is avoiding this with the current generation, thanks to the PS5's backward ✃compatibility with the PS4, but it's still a shame that those older systems are seemingly being forgotten.
The PS5 will be released on November 12th in the US, Japan, 𒁃Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, and November 19th𓂃 in the rest of the world.
