Thankfully, the list is mercifully small, though even the games that work might have some problem. Still, if you\u2019re getting the PS5 a month from now, there are only a handful of games you won\u2019t be able to play.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/support.playstation.com\/s\/article\/backward-compatibility?language=en_US&amp;lan=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">PlayStation support article<\/a> titled \u201cBackwards compatibility\u201d clarifies that the \u201coverwhelming majority\u201d of PS4 games will be playable on PS5. It also adds that some of the games will benefit from Game Boost, which will make them run at higher frame rates, but doesn\u2019t specify which games those will be. According to the article, you should be able to pop your disc into the PS5\u2018s disc drive, or download it from your game library depending on which version of the console you have, and be able to play it.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of the PS4 games that can\u2019t be played at all on PS5:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>DWVR<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>TT Isle of Man \u2013 Ride on the Edge 2<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Just Deal With It!<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Shadow Complex Remastered<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Robinson: The Journey<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>We Sing<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Hitman Go: Definitive Edition<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Shadwen<\/em><\/li>\n<li><em>Joe\u2019s Diner<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There doesn\u2019t seem to be a common theme with the games \u2014 some are VR games, some aren\u2019t. Titles like&nbsp;<em>We Sing<\/em> are likely not going to be playable because the publisher would have to relicense their songs, while&nbsp;<em>Afro Samurai 2<\/em> has been pulled from all game stores since its release. There are likely a myriad of reasons why these unfortunate titles won\u2019t make the transition, and I\u2019m very curious about what they are.<\/p>\n<p><span>The incompatible games aside, the support article warns that some games may behave strangely when used on the PS5: \u201cAlthough many PS4 games are playable on PS5 consoles, some functionalities that were available on the PS4 console may not be available on PS5 consoles. In addition, some PS4 games may exhibit errors or unexpected&nbsp;behavior&nbsp;when played on PS5 consoles.<\/span>\u201d Again, the article doesn\u2019t elaborate, so we\u2019ll have to see what happens when we get our hands on the console. It also recommends using a DualShock 4 controller when playing PS4 games, rather than the PS5\u2018s DualSense.<\/p>\n<p>A PS5 <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.playstation.com\/2020\/10\/09\/ps4-games-on-ps5-your-top-questions-answered\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">FAQ blog post<\/a> adds more detail on PS4 games: saves can be transferred to PS5s either by an external storage medium, via LAN cables, or WiFi. You can also use cloud storage if you\u2019re a PS Plus member. You can also use Remote Play to play PS4 games on PS5 without downloading them to the latter, if you\u2019re short on storage space and haven\u2019t yet installed anything in <a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/gaming\/2020\/10\/07\/playstation-5-looks-taller-cooler-than-all-of-us\/\">that convenient M2 bay<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s curious that this is one of the only areas where Sony just doesn\u2019t seem to have it together as much as Microsoft. Sony\u2019s attitude is a rather waffling, \u201cWell, if you must, but you might get some errors.\u201d Microsoft\u2019s, on the other hand, is more like, \u201cYeah, play four generations of game discs on one console \u2014 except Kinect games because, in retrospect, fuck the Kinect.\u201d With Sony, even one extra generation being playable on its next-gen console feels like an accomplishment.<\/p>\n<p>Still, I\u2019m not complaining \u2014 I don\u2019t own any of the incompatible games, so I\u2019m glad I\u2019ll be able to keep playing my huge library of PS4 games.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/gaming\/2020\/10\/09\/sony-reveals-list-ps4-games-wont-work-playstation-5\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sony today finally clarified which, out of the thousands of PS4 games, won\u2019t work on the PlayStation 5.
