PS Plus Collection and full backward compatibility with PS4

On the one hand, we already know that the console will be compatible with 99% of the more than 4000 PS4 games, that is, all but ten, and that backward compatibility will be improved with the so-called Game Boost (Ghost of Tsushima, Days Gone, God of War…), which will guarantee 60 FPS and visual improvements.
