It also means Lara Croft won't be that triangular icon that defined her early days. Sorry gang, Ryan has confirmed there'll be no enjoying the retro nostalgia of Grand Theft Auto IV, the original LittleBigPlanet, and Silent Hill 2.

With the PS2 arguably being Sony's biggest console to date, it received support for 13 years - which was well into the PS3's cycle.Įven though the PS4 will continue to live on and merge into the PS5, it's a blow for those who wanted to spend their evenings reminiscing about the consoles of Christmas past. Despite criticisms of backwards compatibility, the fact the PS4 is rolling over into the PS5 is no real surprise. It was previously confirmed the PS5 would be able to play around 99% of PS4 games. So, unfortunately, we couldn’t reach the implementation of such compatibilities". Ryan continued, "While implementing that (PS4 compatibility), we also focused our efforts on taking in the high-speed SSD and the new controller DualSense at the same time. Sadly, the news stops there, with older consoles being left out in the cold. In the midst of that, the PS4 already has 100 million players we thought they ought to want to play PS4 titles on the PS5 as well indeed, so we included compatibility with the PS4". Discussing the fan-favorite feature, Ryan said, "We keep in mind the engineering specialised for the PS5, as we produced the device. The value of such features is arguably based on individual needs and expectations, but again, it’s hard to argue against the idea that Microsoft is winning the backwards compatibility battle.Speaking to Famitsu, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO Jim Ryan explained the PS5 will not support backwards compatibility with the PlayStation 3 or earlier. Furthermore, Sony previously confirmed that you will not be able to use PS4 controllers to play PS5 games.

Sony also recently revealed that you’ll be able to access a curated collection of digital PS4 titles via a new PlayStation Plus program. We’ve heard that you’ll be able to play 99% of PS4 games on PS5, but we’re still waiting for the specifics regarding which PS4 games may be excluded. Sony maintains that you’ll be able to play the vast majority of PS4 games on PS5 on day one. So far as that goes, the PS5’s compatibility features are limited (at least when compared to the Xbox’s backwards compatibility features). They rightfully recognized that millions of people still own PS4 games they’d like to be able to play in the next generation, but Ryan’s statement indicates that the PS5 engineers were much more focused on the future. While it seems that some of the subtleties in Ryan’s explanation may have been slightly lost in translation, it basically sounds like Ryan is saying that implementing fully backwards compatibility wasn’t one of the PlayStation team’s priorities with the PS5. So, unfortunately, we couldn’t reach the implementation of such compatibilities.” While implementing that, we also focused our efforts on taking in the high-speed SSD and the new controller DualSense at the same time. “In the midst of that, the PS4 already has 100 million players we thought they ought to want to play PS4 titles on the PS5 as well indeed, so we included compatibility with the PS4. “We keep in mind the engineering specialized for the PS5, as we produced the device,” says Ryan (via translation). In an interview with Famitsu, as translated by Siliconera, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s CEO Jim Ryan confirmed that the PS5 will not be natively backwards compatible with older PlayStation titles.
