There is a new rumor from HipHopGamer that Sony is actually working on backwards compatibility for its PlayStation 5 console which releases next year.

It is now rumored the PlayStation 5 could have backwards compatibility and will allow players to run PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4 games. Sony has never really had true backwards compatibility for its recent systems. Both the PS2 and PS3 are capable of running PS1 games, but other than that gamers have not been able to play Ps2 or PS3 games on the most recent PlayStation console. The only true solution to the problem at this time is to subscribe to PlayStation Now and stream older games through that service, or buy whatever retro digital titles are on the PlayStation Store.

Over the last couple of years there have been several hints and rumors which have led the public to wonder if complete backwards compatibility was on the horizon. In March of 2019 a PS5 patent was filed by the lead architect of the PS4, Mark Cerny, which seemed to imply that Sony was working on this premise. Industry insiders have speculated that backwards compatibility on the PlayStation 5 will be coming as well, so that Sony can set themselves apart from the pack. The most interesting piece of news up to this point though came straight from Sony in October, when they stated that they were definitely working to see if the concept was possible.

A few days ago HipHopGamer posted a video to YouTube where he discussed the new PS5 system at length. According to him, Sony is working on a “remastering engine” which will not only play older titles, but also enhance the game’s visuals. HipHopGamer doesn’t divulge who his sources for this information are, but his information, coupled with everything else which is currently known about Sony’s plans for the PS5, make his claims seem at least plausible, if not likely, though until Sony makes their own statement, it might be best to not get overly excited. Check out the rumors below:

As of now Sony has revealed that the Ps5 will release during the holidays of 2020. Most of the specifics of the system are still unknown, but there are few small things which have been made public. For one, the PS5 system will support ray-tracing to improve visuals. Sony is also replacing the hard drive with a solid state drive which will improve the speed and performance of the system as a whole. There is also an additional patent which has been recently published that many believe to be the new PlayStation controller design.

Backwards compatibility has the potential to give Sony something additional to help in their competition with Microsoft. The Xbox systems have had this capability for years, and PlayStation has sadly dragged their feet on it with every new console. Not every gamer would use this feature, as some would be perfectly happy only playing brand new games and ignoring the older generations, but there are others who would appreciate the ability to return to their childhoods with the PlayStation 5, especially with Sony’s extensive back catalog.
