ThePS5is no longer the new generation of consoles but the current one.
All games are already coming out on the PS5, and many are starting to avoid even thePS4.
The answer is, for the most part, no.

The fact is that the PS5 has a backward compatibility feature, but it only works with PS4.
However, Sony has manually added many of its games for the PS3 or released a remastered version.
Backward compatibility, its not a new technology.
Xbox has been using it since the days of Xbox One.
Sony has never had this feature before.
Sony added this feature only in the PS5.
So bibliography of games from PS4 is available on the PS5.
However, with some nuances and exceptions.
you’re able to even use PS4 discs with PS5.
Currently, PS5 supports a few titles that have been remastered or manually re-released to add to the PS5.
These are mostly games that have classic status.
In PS5, you could quickly get access to them.
For example, games like The Last of Us or Uncharted.
This feature will only work if you have this subscription.
You run them using a cloud service.
In this case, youll need a good and stable Internet.
Otherwise, they wont run and work correctly.
In this case, I recommend connectingvia Ethernet cableto improve the signal and avoid lags.
This applies to almost any PS4 game.
There are only a few exceptions.
When you buy a game, you could see if its made for PS4 or PS5.
Many games have both options.
The difference will be that the PS4 version wont have extra options like performance mode or better graphics.
Also, the games for the PS4 will not have the technology such as RTX.
On the other hand, these game versions are usually cheaper by 10-15 dollars.
Later you’ve got the option to always get an upgrade to PS5 for 10-15 dollars.
you might also use discs from PS4 in your PS5.
If you have a disk drive, insert the disk, download the latest patch and enjoy the game.
All discs from PS4 should be compatible with your PS5 without extra steps.

Can you play PS3 games on PS4?
In the case of PS4, the situation remains similar to that of PS5.
you might play games for which remastered versions were released.
But the rest of the titles that were released on the PS3 you have no opportunity to play.
you might also use cloud gameplay with PS Plus Premium.
Launching such games will be the same as for PS5 in the instructions above.
Of course, this list is quite limited, but thats all we have now.
If we talk about older games, for PS1 or PS2, users cannot launch and play them.
