With the pending arrival of Sony’s long-awaited next-generation console: the PlayStation 5, many are looking for more information about the system’s new UI and for more concrete information on how the backward compatibility will work on the PS5. To cut the issue down to size, one of the biggest questions is whetherr you’ll be able to play PS4 games on the new console.

After much speculation and confusion, Sony has officially announced that approximately 99 percent of the over four thousand titles available on the PS4 will be playable on Playstation 5 consoles. So far, only 10 games are off the list which: DWVR, Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One, TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2, Just Deal With It!, Shadow Complex Remastered, Robinson: The Journey, We Sing, Hitman Go: Definitive Edition, Shadwen, and Joe’s Diner.

System architect Mark Cerny expressed that the company has been testing the best 100 most played PS4 diversions, and “nearly” all of them will be working as intended when the Playstation 5 arrives. Sony has moreover guaranteed it has, as of now, tried “hundreds of titles” and will be testing “thousands more as we move toward dispatch”. This mean you will likely be able to play games that you have purchased on the PS4 and play them on PS5. Although, we haven’t heard from Sony just yet on how backwards compatibility will work when it comes to digital libraries from the PlayStation Store. That said, Sony strongly suggested to run your PS4 games on PS5 before buying any add-ons or DLC to ensure there is no any other ‘error or unexpected behavior’ occur while playing.
