PS5 Backwards Compatibility: No Support For PS3, PS2, Or PS1, Says Ubisoft – GameSpot

As a comparison, Microsoft has currently verified that the Xbox Series X will be in reverse suitable with the bulk of Xbox One games, along with all the Xbox 360 and original Xbox video games that are currently compatible with their current-generation consoles. Once the Series X launches, more games are expected to be added to the backwards compatibility list. Microsoft has actually paused the addition of new backwards compatible games on Xbox One in the meantime.
The PS5 is releasing this holiday season, with both a regular and all-digital version. Now Sony still requires to validate its launch lineup, precise release date, and rate, however has released a program where you can apply to be one of the first to pre-order a PS5. Spider-Man: Miles Morales is also currently set to launch this holiday, while Insomniacs other PS5 title, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, is said to be coming in the PS5s “launch window.” Sony likewise continues to share other teases, including reviews from developers concerning what the PS5s SSD and 3D audio tech will allow for.

Sony has been somewhat coy about information relating to the PlayStation 5s in reverse compatibility support, and specifically whether it will be able to play video games from generations prior to the PlayStation 4. Will you be able to play PS3, PS2, and original PlayStation titles on a PS5?
A Ubisoft assistance page discusses how its titles will transition from PS4 to PS5, as each publisher appears to be taking a various technique to cross-gen upgrades. The post discusses that PS4 players will have the ability to play video games with PS5 gamers online, which aligns with Ubisofts commitment so far to offer free next-generation upgrades for titles like Assassins Creed Valhalla and Watch Dogs: Legion.
Near the end though, the page includes this note: “Backwards compatibility will be available for supported PlayStation 4 titles, however will not be possible for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, or PlayStation video games.” [Update: Ubisofts support page has actually now been amended to remove this recommendation to older PlayStation hardware. Since yet, Sony has still not commented, so its unclear if the business just didnt desire this info out there yet or if its incorrect. When we find out more, well report back if or.]
This could mean that in reverse compatibility beyond the PS4 isnt part of Sonys strategy for its new console, or that Ubisoft isnt able to say otherwise simply. With the restricted time until launch and the vague messaging around which PS4 titles will be playable on PS5 at launch still, its likely to be the previous. GameSpot has connected to Sony for explanation.
