Playstation The Official Playstation 5 Thread

[MagnarTheGreat]

It doesn't mean our PS3 disks will work, just like with their PS1/PS2 emulators on PS4/PS5 they have up to the present only made very few select titles available and made people buy them all over again.

I wish they'd just sell the emulators on the store (for disk and PSN compatibility) as money is their primary motive for what they do.

Rumor: Sony May Be Working on Native PS3 Backwards Compatibility

Please be true, full speed ahead on this one if so.

That's probably one of the best things they could do and would make up for any droughts in future game releases.

I am guessing they will announce this along the PS5 Pro release… Hopefully they can add the PS2 games also

Playstation 7 Digital only?

No surprise by that time. Should still be faraway and the percentage of digital vs physical is rising so fast.

I'm personally more interested in seeing more backwards compatibility with PS1 and PS2 games on the PS5. I still have my PS2 and several games for it and the PS1. Would be nice to not have to hook that up just to play some games for nostalgia.
