Nah, people probably misspoke. PS4 games can be played with either the DualShock 4 or DualSense. PS5 games can ONLY be played with the DualSense.

Backward compatibility: PlayStation®4 games playable on PlayStation®5
- Thread starter Thiago
- Start date
I think you are perhaps speaking too soon. The games being playable is awesome but their statement doesn't instill confidence in how they will perform. Everyone should be in wait and see mode. Hopefully we start getting impressions from outlets shortly.
That's what I understand.
Exactly like boost mode on ps4 pro.
It would probably be best to pay for a month of PS+ to transfer everything over versus dealing with the hassle of doing the physical transfer. Honestly it would be nice if Sony unlocked cloud saves for everyone during the first few months of next gen.
Hmmm. "Concerned" are we?
Excellent news. The coy messaging has been frustrating and I'd still like to see how it looks in the UI all together, but the concrete info is exactly what I was hoping for.
Who knows, maybe they can patch things to work on PS5. If they really wanted to go back and work on something if it was possible I suppose.
That's not what is saying. Why do all these FUD-spreaders change 'select' to 'selected'?
Boost mode works for all titles, but only certain games will (or rather can) improve. Similar as on PS4 Pro.
Just grab a USB to transfer saves over. It takes just a few minutes.
This would be great and is needed. There is no reason this should be behind a paywall.
PS4 Pro was a different beast and much easier to achieve compatibility.
It's in the OP.
Well done Sony.
I'd love to know which PS4 games can run in PS5 Native mode, but I'm not worried about it.

Also ,I guess that also means the the PS2 Classics on PS4 would be compatible as well...that's a nice surprise.
Don't call me a FUD spreader just because you don't like my opinion.
If that's the full list of non-compatible games and everything else is playable at launch, then Sony has done it! Interested to see what the compromises will be (and what exactly boost mode means - does it mean that non-boosted games just run the same as on PS4? Or does it mean everything is better, but some are better-er than others?). But overall, this is fantastic news.
Yay back compat :D See. We're all so much happier once Sony starts talking about stuff. I challenge anyone who was complaining about us asking for more details to tell me they're not happier now than when we were in the dark.

Great news.
Only thing that's still unclear to me is whether I can use the backup of games and saves I made from my PS4 before trading it. Would seem weird to support wifi transfer but not restore from backup. But then it would seem equally weird to support it but not mention it.

Shadow Complex is a good game, actually. Very strange why it isn't supported, it's just a normal Unreal Engine game.
They said 99%, they delivered closer to 99.8%
When will Jim Ryan stop with these lies?
Your reading of this is incorrect. All games have access to this boost mode, but by virtue of many being locked to a static resolution and frame rate, they won't see improvements.
lol ok, no i think you are overreacting. games are going to be fine and i bet more often than not will see definite improvements.
Wait so that means I can't transfer my PS4 saved data that i backed up on an external storage to the PS5 ????
What the fuck Sony I already sold my Pro and I don't have plus on my main account so my data isn't in the cloud 😡
Sony says some games will have faster or smoother framerates and/or higher resolutions where possible. That sounds EXACTLY like what Xbox is doing with unpatched games. What do you think is going to be different? PS5 isn't powerful enough to hit 60fps or max resolution in these unlocked/dynamic res games?
You're deliberately changing the wording, resulting in exactly that.
That's a weird distinction you're making. If something "works" but has no effect, then it's not really.. working is it? Anyway, hope all games see SOME improvement. (And also hope that we can disable if that will help compatibility).
Yea.............. Maybe hold onto it for now? Where is the backup saved to?
No, it's not. You have an incorrect understanding of boost mode and how it works. This is PS4 Pro verbiage all over again.
What you are stating is not supported by the OP at all.
yeah, but the Robison official website is death... would be really suprise if they patch it....

Yeah I agree, you aren't a FUD spreader. It's best we dont go that route.
but you are in my opinion, a moron.
"Select games" to me, is talking about how only games with unlocked framerates or dynamic resolution are improved.
People seem to be under the impression that Xbox is going to magically run games beyond their hard coded limits without a patch.
Or maybe I was born in a different than a english speaking country. Duh. Jesus some of you guys are way to salty and way to quick with judging people. Adds to the toxicity the mods here are trying to fight.
Could be yes. Than I apologise.
And you a 4 year old just trying to insult people.
The problem isn't just criticizing communication but how many people concluded things with little to no information about it.
"they aren't talking about it so it's bad" type logic when the simpler solution is they're testing a bunch of games and there isn't a full list. We don't even have a full list for Xbox last I checked.
This was done ad nauseum and yet the same standard was not held for Microsoft. Is it a big deal? No. But it just made threads for weeks almost impossible to read through.
Yeah it's silly. I can see more patches on the Xbox side though based on more recent history.
Games with an unlocked framerate(/capped at 60 fps) and/or a dynamic resolution will profit from the PS5 native 'boost' mode. A game like Arkham Knight for example which is locked at 1080p/30fps will still play in 1080p/30fps unless the developer patches in a 'performance mode' which uncaps the framerate and/or resolution.
The distinction is that boost mode is available to all games and not some Sony approved whitelist. Boost mode (as of what Sony has said thus far) can't improve games that already run at their resolution and performance ceiling.

Your saves?
I assume you can since you can play BC games from external storage, it would be weird for saves to not work.
It's on an sd card, made via USB adaptor. No harm in hanging onto it. I don't have data caps, and my saves are also on PS+ - my only real worry is that it's my only hope for PT, lol. That is if it does turn out to be BC anyway.

I don't know if this was posted:

"Still, most of your existing PlayStation 4 library will work on PS5 from day one. "We know our fans have invested a lot of time building their collection of PS4 games, so library portability is critically important," says Nishino. "When you sign in to PS5 with your account, you will automatically see your library of played PS4 content through the menu. Approximately 99 percent of the thousands of PS4 titles, both catalog and newly published, will be playable on PS5, and we're excited about supporting our PlayStation community as they transition from PS4 to PS5 when they're ready."
I think some ppl are getting too worked up over the wifi transfer thing.
I was gonna post this in reference to the UI in another thread, but it might fit better here.
Why You Should Buy PS5 And Xbox Series X/S
We talk to the two platform holders launching new consoles next month to hear why an upgrade is worth it.

I suspect that there will be varying degrees of performance across many games, but they aren't publishing a list as they did for PS3 as to not draw attention to it.
If you would be a adult you could discuss topics without insulting people.
