All of these questions linger in the minds of PlayStation enthusiasts. Another critical question is, will PS4 games be playable on the PS5? Luckily, that question has already been answered by Sony.

Will PS4 games work on PS5?

More details are sure to come, but Sony has confirmed that the PS5 will support PS4 games. In a PlayStation focused live stream, Sony’s lead system architect, Mark Cerny, guaranteed backward compatibility for the console.

He also mentioned the details regarding the testing done to ensure PS4 titles will work smoothly on the PS5.

Will PlayStation games prior to the PS4 be playable on the PS5?

There has been no confirmation on this matter yet. It seems, based on Mark Cerny’s explanation, that this may not happen. Of course, they could add games from prior console generations to a digital store.

For now, it seems that only certain PS4 games will be playable on the PS5. Don’t forget that any physical PS4 games will work only on the regular PS5 edition, because the PS5 Digital version will not have a disc drive.
