Backward compatibility: PlayStation®4 games playable on PlayStation®5
- Thread starter Thiago
- Start date
Well, yes. PS5 will just run at PS4/Pro mode if the game can't support boost mode. So, at worse, you're playing at 1080p30fps.
Glad to see all the people making a big deal out of PS5's BC expected "issues" were right and justified. Truly a small amount of games will be playable day one.

We knew pretty much any game in the PS+ Collection pretty much had to work.
Anyways, exciting that the exclusion list is small. Will be interesting to see what games have "errors or unexpected behavior."
I read that as in: "we haven't fully tested all 4.000+ PS4 games yet."
xbox will be similar. Kinect games won't/can't work for example and there may be others. Not all games will get boosts either. Sony are just being their usual dry self about how they go about informing people. My bet is still that bc will be basically the same. Dynamic res games will more regularly hit higher res, unlocked framerate games will run faster. Capped framerate/re won't do anything because they're capped.
It's good that the list of compatible games is so high, but after seeing how BC games run on Series X, it's hard not to be disappointed. Some games may run better is a far cry from all games will run better.
Why wouldn't they? Cerny said PS4 compatibility was built into the core design of the system. By default everything should work with some outliers, as listed in the OP here. The whole "100 games at launch with more to come later" interpretation of Cerny's words was absolutely ludicrous from the start.
I'd assume games with dynamic resolutions will benefit from boost mode.
So the mention about game saves is under the heading "Transfer digital games from a PS4 console to a PS5 console." Cloud saves won't be used to transfer digital games, so it's not discussed there. There's no reason to believe that cloud saves won't transfer.

Post history reveals all. Don't expect a reply.
Yup, this is the outstanding issue for me as well. I want to see some free patches even if it's ONLY to unlock framerates on PS4 first party exclusives. Boosted resolution would be nice, too, but dear god give us 60fps please.
For a start boost mode isn't a thing on xbox. it just does it without the need to be implemented. Auto HDR is also a thing for every backwards compatible game with no input. so to me that's a pretty huge difference - it simply means bc games will be better on xbox in general if boost mood isn't implemented and the game has uncapped frame rates or resolution etc. unless i'm reading something wrong here about boost mode.
I would too, and it seems like an easy point to add to their BC features list, so that's why it stuck me as odd that they left it out
I am very curious to know why Shadow Complex isn't compatible. The game runs on Unreal Engine. Did the devs use some weird programming that didn't adhere to Sony's guidelines for PS4 coding?
Yeah I know that, that's just common sense, but some games like the Just Cause games, The Last Guardian and many games with PS4 Pro performance modes really failed to maintain their targets and made the games feel unplayable to me. So for The Last Guardian in particular Im hoping I'll be able to enable boost, same with God of War 4's performance mode
Also I just really like the Xbox's forced Vsync, 16x Anisotropic Filtering and AA as well, really cleans up the image on a 4K panel so I hope Sony will do that as well
PT is on my PS4, I will never play it, and yet your observation makes me very happy
Cant play Joes Diner on PS5? Preorder CANCELED.
I hope we get more details on boost mode soon, maybe they can get around framerate caps. Bloodborne 👀
Glad this was at long last cleared up in 100% non ambiguous terms.
This was all they had to do from the beginning, but they got there in the end.

I'm wondering if this is just the beginning list. Even thought they said "99% is playable", 10 games is a LOT less than 1% of the PS4's library.
I find it hard to believe they've tested every game so far, it's probably just from games they've tested.
That said, even though I have no immediate plans on purchasing a PS5, if the list is complete, I am happy none are ones I care about playing.

Yeah they mention you can download them from the Games Library.
I'd rather that be the case instead of waiting for Sony to get around to every little game.
Literally an infinitesimal list made up of a handful of games that I would never attempt to play anyways. Good shit, Sony!
Hype for PT. Might live on my PS5. The game, that is permanent installed on my console, and i will probably never play again.
I'm still annoyed the new camera doesn't work for PSVR, that really should have been abstracted at the system level. Yeah, I know, it's a console, but games shouldn't be caring about the exact model of camera, they should at least be able to handle a downscaled video stream provided by the kernel.
I'm not at all optimistic about current PSVR titles running on PSVR 2 without major patches. I'd be more annoyed, but I think we'd want major patches anyway.
That said, I love that one of the 11 games that doesn't work is actually called "Just deal with it!".

I was too slow again, lol
