As for what games are backwards compatible, Sony once again states that “the overwhelming majority of the 4,000+ PS4 games are playable on PS5 consoles”. This time, though, the company has published a list of 10 “PS4 only” games, suggesting only fewer than a dozen games will not be backwards compatible. Those games are:
- 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
As for games that are backwards compatible, “select” PS4 games will benefit from Game Boost, which “may make PS4 games run with a higher or smoother frame rate”.
The page also notes that some functionality may not be present when playing PS4 games on PS5, such as the Share menu (it is replaced by the Create menu), In-Game Live from PlayStation, and the PS4 tournaments feature. Additionally, some games “may exhibit errors or unexpected behavior”. It also notes that PS4 DualShock 4 controllers can be used with the PS5 to play PS4 games.
