During Deep Dive, Sony has just revealed more about the upcoming console’s backwards compatibility. While we don’t know what these games exactly are, they have confirmed that almost a hundred of the best PS4 games will be compatible for the PS5 when it launches.
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 may however suspect that Sony exclusives for the current generation will be among the list. Games such as Marvel’s Spiderman, God of War, Horizon: Zero Dawn and etc., just sound too good to pass up for the PlayStation 5.
