The implication is that majority of them won't be running in legacy modes. The outliers will be the ones that have to use legacy modes.

New PS4 games must also run on PlayStation 5 from July, Sony tells devs (No, that doesn't mean older games won't work)
- Thread starter jon bones
- Start date
If a game is PS5 compatible it has to stay that way, even if the game was originally submitted before July 13th
Nope, it still doesn't suggest anything more than a few won't to my eyes.
this tweet makes it pretty sure that not all games will work and that they too are also testing games
I'm pretty sure that's to cover their tracks to avoid making promises that they may can't keep but I'm pretty sure most PS4 games will work just fine on PS5
Because it's not important lmao.
An insignificant fraction of the user base will use backwards compatibility because it always been like that and history only repeat itself.
The only thing that makes backwards compatibility important is for the first year of Ps5 when people will shift to it from PS4, once we're into this generation more people won't care about it.
Xbox One had it and no one gave a shit about it except us forum niche, it's gonna be the same for next generation.
"Overwhelming majority" of PS4 titles is playable on ps5
means there are cases where some games don't.
lets say it's 98%. All Sony is saying is don't be part of that 2% because your games are far more likely to be played on ps5. we'll show you how to test.
ms doesn't guarantee backwards compatibility on all software either and probably has similar guidance
Mountain out of a mole hill

You had no problem believing Microsofts promises. Does that mean you are a microsoft shill?
Until we have clarification regarding which games will work on launch, it's on Sony to get the messaging right.
Coming into threads where people want clarification and crying about "concern trolling" is not the way to go.
LOL, so THIS is the thread they were talking about in Discord... I love you guys; too much love not enough time.
No idea man, arrogant Sony is back and they are purposefully being shady & obtuse af to their fanbase.
Although, I'm finding these hourly PS5 concern threads highly entertaining, I can't wait until Sony makes a defiant and cocky fully scripted and detailed console reveal for everyone to further break down & interprete that reveal langage to try to find legal loopholes their own legal department missed then maybe come up with their own interpretation of what the legal interpretation Sony is hiding behind because cleary they announced BC is a shame and they really don't care and are just using BC as a buzz word.
Seriously though, the next couple Sony/MS conferences can't come soon enough.

Got it, thank you for the clarification, that sentence was confusing me.
No he didn't say that; he said they expect almost all to be working by launch. It's the only statement Sony has said about BC working by launch. He didn't say what percentage of them just worked out of the top 100. It indicates that it will take 10-11 months of work to get most of the top 100 working... what that entails we have no clue.
Right, and none of that has any timespan put on it.
Yeah sorry that's what I meant... (as I indicated in that post that some games might just work)
But we literally have no clue to what extent patching entails.. we have a mix of statements. ONE that sounds confident (we expect the majority of the 4k games to be BC).. others that aren't that confident..
And almost none of these statements talk about things being ready by launch, the only one we have is the "out of the top 100 games."
I thought Microsoft said that all the games that work on Xbox One (expect Kinect games) will also work on the Series X, at launch.
Sony on the other hand believes most PS4 games will work eventually on the PS5.
It's not the same. I would love for Sony to give more details about their plans for the PS5; at least if they expect me to buy it. For now I'm really not liking what I'm reading about their future console.
Oh no! I understand clearly. But it seems not everybody is getting the message. I blame Sony for this
What's the point of your post ?
Is it so hard to wait until a company fully unveil its product and features before making assumptions based on literally nothing ?
And clarification on what ? They said they are testing games and believe 4000+ PS4 games will be compatible on PS5 and they will tell more in upcoming months
Ah lol that explains it
No. Currently what works are games that already work on Xbox One X/S. ANd that is limited to 380+xb360 games. And only a handful of OG XBOX games.
lolololol he said patches two times.
Now check the context of the quotes and replies. My original patch comment is for a BC patch. My reply to your comment saying it has nothing to do with patches is because you were talking about regular patches, not BC-specific ones.
They're not fixing issues inside the code directly for the most part, as their BC solution doesn't require that, but yes, they have the source code.
The difference is Microsoft has been clear on what they'll be delivering with BC going forward.
Thus I'm excited to replay my favourite games at higher fidelity.
I'm also not bemoaning posters when they want clarification regarding aspects of the xbox launch like posters are doing in this thread.
You're sweet for checking my post history though :)
Before the 13th of July Sony checks a Ps4 game on PS5 finds it does not work they inform the publisher and it up to them if they want to work with Sony to fix the issue.
Post July 13th Sony tests every single Ps4 title to be released from that point if it does not work on PS5 it fails cert and must be fixed before being released even on PS4.
Nothing here gives us any indication that PS5 bc is limited or bad in anyway or how many titles just work on PS5.
Also this exact requirement happened with the release of PS4 pro and no one batted an eyelid.
People need to relax.

User warned: Console warring
You could say the same about next gen exclusives
Either Rockstar will do the right thing or charge you for a new copy.
They literally spelled it out for you months ago and the article isn't confusing lol
Yes some people are being overly concerned about this entire situation but I don't believe there's anything to worry about at all. Seems like pretty standard stuff
They did at first and then walked it back in the tweet that Transistor posted.
Why hasn't Nintendo gotten the messaging on Switch 2 right?
Because they're not ready to announce it yet. And they don't have to announce it until they're ready.
You don't get to know everything the split second you want to know it.
Jeez it's not even a storm in a teapot but in a thimble.
And just for info, there is no backward compatibility on Xbox One but a selected emulation. The Xbox/360 emulator isn't open to use for the end user and only 600 games over the 2000 published on the 360 are currently working on One.
So for sure this time the jump between two similar architectures will facilitate a lot of things and we will probably end with 98% of the entire back catalog compatible, but that doesn't remove the need of certification.

How does that tweet make it sure that not all games will work on Xbox Series X? They've tested thousands of games and found that they work on the new console, it doesn't say that they found one that doesn't work.
Because it's really not that important to people outside of enthusiast places like Era.
Everyone is still stuck in the old way of doing BC. Unless i missed something MS and Sony are literally doing the same thing. With the exception isn't going as far back as MS is for whatever reason. (Assuming costs and time put would probably be too much).
I'm not making assumptions. I'm asking for clearer communication regarding the product. Yet posters are feeling the need to defend the company not clarifying what others feel are important aspects.
I'm sure the majority of games will be fine.
Can't promise games like the life of black Tiger will work lol
Can't promise games like the life of black Tiger will work lol
the tweet is correcting a dude saying will all games work
if they are soo transparent why didn't the tweet say all Xbox one games will just work?
