The Sony Playstation 5 Is Rumored to Feature Backwards Compatibility

Shortly after images of a DevKit and potential DualShock 5 controller surfaced, we are now learning that the Sony PlayStation 5 may have a new backward compatibility feature.

According to reports, Sony is working on creating a "remastering engine" that will allow the PS5 to access the title from the PlayStation Archive. This feature will allow the classic PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4 titles to run on the new flagship console with various gameplay enhancements. Sony is known to work to provide backward compatibility, but none of its patents have really hit the consumer model, which was released in the past.

Sony PlayStation 5 is expected to be released during the 2020 holiday season. If you haven't missed it, Sony taps the GU for a PlayStation capsule collection.
