Sony has finally settled all the points on the issue of backward compatibility of PlayStation 5 with PlayStation 4 games. So, as expected, 99% of the entire library of games (which is more than 4000 titles) will work on the next-gen platform. And only 10 games will remain in PS4 only mode.
The list of unsupported games include:
- DWVR
- Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One
- TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2
- Just Deal With It!
- Shadow Complex Remastered
- Robinson: The Journey
- We Sing
- Hitman Go: Definitive Edition
- Shadwen
- Joe’s Diner
PS4 games available on the account can be viewed through the console menu, as usual for the current generation. This applies to PS Plus subscription games as well as PS VR games. Some games will receive various improvements – increased loading speed, improvements and more stable frame rates, some will receive dynamic 4K resolution, as well as a number of new features of the PS5 user interface, which will be discussed later.

As for the saves, they can be transferred via Wii-Fi, via a USB flash drive or via the clouds to PS Plus. However, there is a note that versions of the same game for two consoles may not support save, which depends on the developer. Sony‘s two main projects, Marvel Spider-Man: Miles Morales and Sackboy: The Big Adventure, will get the opportunity. Recall that the PlayStation 5 will go on sale on November 12.
