#IS PS5 BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE PS4#
This information came from a Ubisoft support page that was explaining how their titles would transition from PS4 to PS5, since nearly every publisher is taking a different approach to the issue of next gen cross-compatibility with their current games. Check the links below to see if each is currently allowing pre-orders: Have you pre-ordered your PS5 yet? The retailers below have pre-order pages set up and some of them are intermittently allowing pre-orders. However, Ubisoft said explicitly that those systems’ game will not be supported, and there’s no reason for them to lie about that information. That said, this little detail about the PS5 isn’t coming directly from Sony, so it could turn out to be untrue. According to Ubisoft, the PlayStation 5 will not have backwards compatibility support for anything earlier than the PS4: that includes the PS1, 2 and 3, of course. Unfortunately, those who purchase the Sony PlayStation 5 will be severely limited in PS5 backwards compatibility capabilities. After all, many gamers want to be able to play their old favorites, even if they get a new console. Ever since the advent of new generations of consoles following the first, backwards compatibility has been a hot topic for gamers and game developers.
