During The Road to PS5 livestream, PlayStation 5 lead system architect Mark Cerny went into detail about the inner-workings, features, and specs of Sony’s upcoming next-gen console. When it came to backwards compatibility, Cerny said that Sony expects nearly 100 of the most popular past-gen games to be playable on PS5 when it launches during the holiday 2020 season.
"Running PS4 and PS4 titles at boosted frequencies has also added complexity," Cerny said. "The boost is truly massive this time around and some game code just can’t handle it. Testing has to be done on a title by title basis. Results are excellent though. We recently took a look at the top 100 PlayStation 4 titles as ranked by playtime and we’re expecting almost all of them to be playable at launch on PlayStation 5."
We’ll obviously have to wait until PS5 launches to see which of those 100 PS4 titles will be playable. There’s no immediate way to check out what the full list of 100 games is ourselves–the PSN Store only organizes games by release date, alphabetical order, or price.
