Thank goodness!

I still have the PlayStation 4 games.

[dranzer]

This shouldnt even be a topic. Of course it should be

[calebjerez]

congrats to me I graduated from high school today

[Turkboyz]

It seems like people only get the part where you can play ps4 games on ps5. This video also means their is cross play between ps4 and ps5 players

[flufflenuggit]

As much as I want PS2 and PS3. If they can at least do PS4. I'll be satisfied enough.

[PowerNapMan]

I just need an „okay“ fan in the PS5 - please Sony, my PS4 is so loud! :D

[Digi-Darty]

I mean yay but....xbox has been doing this for a while now.
What i want to know is if sony managed to do tech wizardry for the ps5 so it can play ps3, ps2 and ps1 games, disc or digital.

[JHolland]

I’m not getting a ps5 until like 2022 lol so thank god, I always get consoles 2 years later, I wish there was ps2/ps3 backwards compatibility too

[d.]

from an xbox guy, I'm switching to ps5 next gen. ps5 has everything i need and pc has halo so i can just play that there. gg playstation.

[JesseWhiteman]

Backwards capability should be mandatory for machines. Sacrificing one console for another is the equivalent of replacing your good arm for a robot arm.

[HaloArtwork]

I saw a footage from twitter showing the Spider-Man ps4 cities turn smooth from the ps4 pro vs the next generation: ps5. and it was intense.

[madvenu]

I just don’t want the PS5 to sound like a jet.

[Youngandwreckless]

Good i wanna play rainbow six siege for a very long time

[VenomHernandez]

Still gonna wait for that price drop or when they'll stop supporting the PS4 afterwards

[v.e.s]

It will be cool playing games like call of duty with 50 or more players or other games like mag who played that is fun more kill and points two and big maps yeas I want that

[calambres]

This is awesome to be able to play online cross platform/generation like fortnite on PS4 pro and ppl that have a 0s5 will be able to play on the same servers along with other high games

[dilcanrodrigo]

Can someone tell me the song used in this lol

[ianslifeshow]

Iv ps4 since launch iv only ever bought 2 discs for it iv about 400 games all digital i better be able to play my ps4 digital library on ps5

[cozzy]

Funny how the one company that hated the idea of cross play is now fully starting to imbrace it Better late than never I suppose even if it doesn’t cross play with Microsoft and Nintendo machines aleast you can play with your mates that own PlayStations wether it’s the 4 or the 5

[REaDComicsau]

Cool, I know it’s not that plausible but how sick would it be if it was backwards compatible with every PlayStation console? Anyway I hope E3 is actually good this year!
