PlayStation 6 update confirms what you feared – Playstation

The PlayStation 6 is receiving an update that confirms what we fear or want to hear, depending on your point of view.

I’m a big fan of backward compatibility support for two reasons: it helps Preserving our favorite video games From last year, this means that we can play previous-gen titles on the new system and in many cases, they will have a resolution and frame rate boost.

However, there is also another side in favor Backward compatibilityThis means that some console manufacturers and publishers are relying too heavily on last-gen games rather than creating experiences that are exclusive to the new generation.

in many ways, Microsoft It has led the way in terms of backward compatibility since the Xbox 360 and newer Xbox Series Xbox Discs, as well as digital titles.

the Playstation 5 It can play most PS4 discs and titles from previous generations are mostly bundled with PS Plus Subscribe. As I mentioned earlier, I’m all for backward compatibility support but at the same time, when I buy a new console, I expect new-gen exclusive titles to be the main focus.

As Bush Square reported,via MP1st), PlayStation co-CEO Hideaki Nishino has confirmed that when the PS6 arrives, it will be supported by PS5 titles as long as the PS4 supports the current system.

when talk to Famitsu, Nishino said: “As of today, many PS4 games are being played, and the number of PS5 games is increasing rapidly. This is unlikely to suddenly change tomorrow, so there is no doubt that home video game consoles will remain at the heart of our business for some time.

He continued: “Some may misunderstand me when I say this, but if you have cloud gaming on PS Portal and PS5 games running, (they) might think we have already entered the era of cloud gaming. However, you still need a controller and a screen in your hand, and we think the hardware isn’t going away just yet.

Let’s just hope that when the PlayStation 6 is released, as much as we love backwards compatibility, it doesn’t rely too heavily on last-gen titles because we want the new-gen console to feel like a new generation.

Sony likely won’t release the PlayStation 6 between 2027 and 2028.
