So I've been seeing too much fud and misinformation on PS5 BC with PS4 titles. Heck even renowned journalists are acting like they don't know shit or propagating misinformation. So let's set the record straight on this one.
- All PS4 games(99% of the PS4 catalog) will be PLAYABLE ON YOUR PS5 FROM DAY ONE.
-All PS4 games will run on your PS5 just as they ran on the PS4(frame rates and resolution).
-A selection of 100 titles (based on playtime stats) will be allowed to take advantage of the additional horsepower in the PS5 via PS5 boost clock for higher and stable resolutions and frame rates.
So there you have it that's backwards compatibility.

Ryan also said that of the thousands of games tested for PS4 backwards compatibility, “99 percent” can be played on the next console. Sony also announced a new service called PS Plus Collection, which will offer 18 PS4 first-party titles for download to subscribers to the PlayStation online service. It’s a tremendous freebie for anyone who plays their PlayStation online, and a good entry point for anyone new to Sony properties like “The Last of Us.”

WTF? There goes a lot of my incentive to buy a PS5 anytime soon.
Oh. So evidently my games could run better, but Sony has decided only an arbitrary amount will run better. I guess my copy of Cities Skylines is probably forever bound to run at PS4 speeds. What a crock.

Keep saying this, they will practically all work. They just can't say it to cover their asses in case something goes awry.I'm interested to know which games won't work.
It's probably some Unity-based shit that no one should rightly give two fucks about, rather than some AAA title.
That is not official, OP is supposing that because Cerny said 100 games was tested with boot clocks. I suppose Sony will do a option like they did with boost mode on Pro.
Sony didn't decide anything. That's on developers.
It is just 29 of your favorite games you own that won't work.I'm interested to know which games won't work.

Great job i heard this is one of the games getting the 4k 120fps treatment on PS5.Cool just picked up this game to get ready

This too! Why is it so hard to communicate this to us? I really don't get it.This is not new information. And the games that will benefit from the PS5 boost mode are games that currently run with an unlocked framerate on PS4. Any framerate increase on an old game with a locked 30fps framerate will require a patch. What we want to know will Sony and third parties provide these patches as part of title updates like they did with PS4 Pro patches. It would be nice if at the very least Sony did this for it's titles, particularly the ones that will be included with the PS+ Collection.

Move it to an external HDD, plug it into the PS5Yeah but how am I gonna play P.T.?
No, I'm pretty sure they're yours, I've seen "99%" and "overwhelming majority", unless you can point me elsewhere
Yes, we have a word in the English language for when it's a majority, but not an entirety
It's called MOST
Creepy AF.Cool just picked up this game to get ready
PT. What's the other 28?99% means there is 29 games that wont work
Then trolls would come out saying "but most is so vague! It must mean a little bit over half of the games LOL"Yes, we have a word in the English language for when it's a majority, but not an entirety

I'm pretty sure they've made it mandatory for any game released post June 2020 to be PS5 compatible.So I can play games like 13 Sentinels and upcoming NieR Replicant HD and Nocturne HD on PS5, even if I bought physical version on PS4?
Maybe not. Isn't the PSVR2 rumored as well? Strange to think that both consoles wouldn't be able to run all last gen games better. It'll be interesting to see if the games that suffered from frame drops still do on the new consoles or if they even out.Pretty sure the missing 1% is VR titles.

And for the third time in this thread... This!Will all the compatible games in my ps4 digital library be available to download on my ps5 for free on day one? I still haven’t seen any confirmation on this but I’d like to think so.
I’m not buying either console for at least 6-12 months anyways so I can see who really has the games that I like most so I’ll know before I buy anyways. It just seems like a crystal clear statement that hasn’t been made from what I’ve seen.
