This leaves the door open for Sony to share the percentage of games that can be compatible and ready to run on the PS5. It won’t be possible that every game works from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5, but Sony is still working on the technology behind this support and wants to do further testing before giving out a definitive statement. So while PS5 will play PS4 games, it is not confirmed if all games will work or whether they will need to be patched to run on PS5.
