Six More PlayStation 4 Games Found that Aren't Backwards Compatible on PlayStation 5 - ThisGenGaming

Most of us with large game libraries on the PlayStation 4 were glad to find out that the majority of the PlayStation 4 games were backwards compatible on PlayStation 5. According to a page from Sony, only ten games in total didn’t work on their new console. Well I’ve now found six more that are...

thisgengaming.com

That makes 16 games that don't work now. Granted none of these are that big of a deal but I wish Golem worked on the PS5.

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

Here’s the six

Here are those games:

• Pool Nation
• Tower of Time
• The Gardens Between
• PixelBOT EXTREME!
• YIIK: A Postmodern RPG
• Golem (PSVR)

What the hell is going on with the scrolling on that site

 

[Andodalf]

No Pool Nation? thats a killer

 

[JohnnyFootball]

Here’s the six

 

[Entroyp]

Oh nooooes!!

 

[JareBear: Remastered]

I just called FedEx and told them to cancel my delivery. I don’t want this trash console within 10 square miles of my house.

 

[Resenge]

No Pool Nation? thats a killer

As long as Pure Pool works, I'm ok with this.

 

[Zimmy68]

I thought I read somewhere that Prey might not work.
But I haven't heard confirmation.
I can check myself tomorrow.

 

[Evangelion Unit-01]

I don't own PSVR but I've always wanted to play Golem my reason being Marty O'Donnell's score.

Who?

 

[GaviotaGrande]

I just called FedEx and told them to cancel my delivery. I don’t want this trash console within 10 square miles of my house.

Do they deliver to The Netherlands? Asking for a friend...

 

[kyussman]

My favorite six games too.....what are the odds,LOL.

 

[GarryM]

Da fuq when were these games released?

I guess someone somewhere is probably crying right now

 

[AgentP]

Oh nooooo......

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Damn, was looking forward to playing..

What were they again? Yeah those.

 

[Hendrick's]

What percent is it now?

 

[cireza]

I get the feeling that the list is going to expand when the console will actually be released.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

I'm going to lose a lot of sleep worrying about those.

 

[Outrunner]

Well that's it, boys. I'm skipping next gen. If I can't play this 16 literal garbage titles that until now I didn't even knew existed, then there is no point in buying a PS5. I'm done.

• YIIK: A Postmodern RPG

 

[Mercenary09]

I thought I read somewhere that Prey might not work.
But I haven't heard confirmation.
I can check myself tomorrow.

It works but the report was that it had issues. There was a patch released the other day though so maybe that fixed them?

 

[_Justinian_]

Do we need to have that discussion again where if you have games on the PS4 that you really enjoy, then maybe you should just keep your PS4?

How was Golem? I never picked it up.

 

[kretos]

PixelBOT EXTREME doesn't work?

 

[Elbereth]

Wow, all my favorite games of last gen.

Returning my PS5 pronto...

 

[Xenon]

Well it's a good thing Sony patented that technology.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Here’s the six

 

[Elcid]

 

[kraspkibble]

no PixelBOT EXTREME! ?

well that's it i'm sending my PS5 back.

 

[Harlock]

So those are the troo coded to the metal PS4 games?

 

[ReBurn]

PS5 bomba

 

[ethomaz]

Here’s the six

Can you list the games now?

 

[Kuranghi]

The gardens between is actually a nice little fun puzzle game but its also a bit crap framerate-wise it has these inherent drops and stutters I couldn't fix and I contacted the devs and they were like:

So I'm guessing its not compatible because they aren't too technical a dev.

 

[Kdad]

These were not included in PlayStation's list of games that dont work because even PlayStation do not consider them to be games?

 

[Nymphae]

jfc OP put the info in your post

 

[Prison Mike]

 

[gow3isben]

No Pool Nation? thats a killer

Damn bro yearh gonna have to seriously re-evaluate my next gen options

 

[AmuroChan]

Does My Name is Mayo work? That's the one I really care about.

 

[BlitzerRadic]

Sony said 99% of all PS4 games are backwards compatible. 1% of 4000 is 40 games that won't work.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Here’s the six

Had me worried for a sec. As long as all first party titles are BC and can give me that sweet 60fps goodness, I'm ok with the occasional blooper.

Though, tbf, if you like those games, that sucks. Pool Nation is kind of a fun game, had a decent enough time playing it on PC in VR.

 

[ne1butu]

 

[Mr Moose]

What percent is it now?

>99.6%

 

[Krappadizzle]

Thank you for this gif! I literally watched all 7 seasons of Golden Girls in the last 3 months as my wife would put that shit on when we'd feed the baby. Show still holds up really well.

 

[kruis]

Are these games really broken or did ever single tester in Sony's Backward Compatibility Testing Deparmtent say: "Fuck it, I'm not gonna waste my time playing that crap even when I'm paid to do it. List the game as incompatible or else I'm out of here."

 

[BlackOlivesMatter]

Thoughts and prayers to everyone affected by this troubling announcement

 

[Grinchy]

I actually slightly care about Golem. I did notice that when I moved it over from my Pro that it said "Playable on PS4" in the library.

 

[Wonko_C]

A friend who got his PS5 today told me his copy of Dragon Ball FighterZ doesn't work.

 

[Bankai]

Golem is actually a pretty well-known PSVR game, hope it gets patched soon.

Several of those games aren't crap. The Gardens Between, Golem, and Towers of Time are actually pretty good. Same goes for some of the others we knew about like Shadow Complex Remastered.
