  • PS5 FAQ Reveals Just 10 Games That Are Not Backwards Compatible

PS5 FAQ Reveals Just 10 Games That Are Not Backwards Compatible

October 9th, 2020 / Niraj Shah / News

Sony has officially revealed just how many PS4 games will be backwards compatible on the PS5. Of the 4000+ titles on the PS4, only 10 titles have been revealed to not work on the PS5, so far.

In addition, many of the PS4 games will benefit from added power of the new console using the PS5’s Game Boost feature, which will make select games run at higher or smoother frame rates.

The ten titles that Sony have noted will not work on PS5 are listed below. However, Sony did not reveal why these particular games are incompatible.

  • DWVR
  • Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One
  • TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2
  • Just Deal With It!
  • Shadow Complex Remastered
  • Robinson: The Journey
  • We Sing
  • Hitman Go: Definitive Edition
  • Shadwen
  • Joe’s Diner

Most games will work on the PS5, but there are some caveats and issues to note:

  • Select PS4 games will benefit from the PS5 console’s Game Boost, which may make PS4 games run with a higher or smoother frame rate. 
  • Although many PS4 games are playable on PS5 consoles, some functionalities that were available on the PS4 console may not be available on PS5 consoles. In addition, some PS4 games may exhibit errors or unexpected behavior when played on PS5 consoles.
  • Before purchasing add-ons to play with your PS4 games on PS5 consoles, please try to boot and play your PS4 games on your PS5 console to see if you are happy with the play experience.
  • Please note, playing PS VR games on a PS5 console requires a PlayStation VR headset, a PS camera (sold separately from PS5 console) and a PS camera adaptor (no purchase required). 
  • Always update your PS5 console to the latest version of the system software.

Sony also recommends the use of the PS4’s DualShock 4 controller to play PS4 games on the PS5, instead of the new DualSense controller:

For the best experience, use a DUALSHOCK 4 wireless controller when playing PS4 games and PS VR games on a PS5 console. 

In additional the following limitations are also listed:

  • The SHARE menu cannot be displayed during PS4 gameplay on PS5 consoles. You can take screenshots and images by pressing the create button on your DualSense wireless controller to show the create menu. Additionally, you can use the button shortcuts to start/stop video recording or to save screenshots as follows:
    • Single press the create (DualSense) or SHARE button (DUALSHOCK4) to show the create menu
    • Press and hold the create (DualSense) or SHARE button (DUALSHOCK4)  to take a screenshot
    • Double press the create (DualSense) or SHARE button (DUALSHOCK4) to start and stop video recording manually. 
  • The HD Camera is not compatible with PS4 games – please connect a PlayStation Camera via a PlayStation®Camera adaptor.
  • HDR is automatically switched on for PS5 consoles. To turn off HDR, go to Settings > Screen and Video > Video Output > HDR and select SDR.
  • The PS4 tournaments feature is not supported on PS5 consoles.
  • In-Game Live from PlayStation is not supported on PS5 consoles. 
  • PS5 consoles do not support the PS4 Second Screen app or game companion apps.
