PlayStation updates the new information on PlayStation 5 clarifying that the backward compatibility with PlayStation 4 will be practically total.
PS5 will be backward compatible with most of the 4,000 PS4 video games. This has been confirmed by Sony updating the entry of its official blog dedicated to new information on PlayStation 5 and which last Wednesday we brought you all its news. In this sense, PlayStation has clarified one of the points about which more doubts were generated among the community, since at that time it was ensured that at its launch, PS4 would be compatible with 100 of the most popular PlayStation 4 games.
Resolution and performance improvements
In addition, beyond increasing the number of games backward compatible with the new machine, PlayStation has added very significant new information in reference to graphic and performance improvements in these titles. "We believe that the vast majority of the more than 4,000 PS4 video games will be playable on PS5," says Sony.
“We hope that supported titles will run at an increased frequency on PS5 so that they can take advantage of higher frame rates per second and higher resolutions. We are currently evaluating games title by title to detect any issues that need tweaking by their original developers, ”they continue from Sony.
Thus, and thanks to these novelties, Sony not only opens the door to an almost total backward compatibility between PS4 and PS5, but also ensures that many of the PS4 games running on PS5 will enjoy improvements to a greater or lesser extent, basically at the level of resolution and frame rate.
“We have already tested hundreds of titles and are preparing to test thousands of them as we get closer to launch. We will share news about backwards compatibility, along with many other news about PS5, in the coming months. Stay tuned! ”Concludes the Sony update.
Among the main technical novelties of PS5 we find an AMD Ryzen Zen 2 processor with 8 cores at 3.5 GHz and an AMD Radeon RDNA 2 GPU at 2.23 GHz and 2.28 TFLOPS.
