Leak: PS5 to be Backwards Compatible With PS, PS2, PS3 and PS4 Discs
We have more and more leaks about backward compatibility of PS5. Recent reports suggest that the console will read almost all discs from previous generations. In other words: our PS5 will be able to run games from PS1, PS2, PS3 and PS4.

Two days ago we informed of a very much talked about. Namely: the new Sony console is to be backwards compatible with the vast majority of boxed versions of games from all previous PS consoles.
Sounds great, doesn't it? In another post, the author of the leak adds that:
"Nearly every developer who made a game that has been commercially released on PlayStation®, PlayStation®2, PlayStation® 3 or PlayStation®4 since 1994 will be able to have their game played on PlayStation®5"
Of course, as is usually the case with unofficial reports, we recommend that you do not take this information for certain. While we can give PSErebus some credit for repeatedly providing truthful information long before the official Sony announcements, this is still just a leak. Even the states to wait for an official confirmation. We will probably have to wait for the details until next year's E3 fair, when (according to the latest rumors) the Japanese will announce PlayStation 5. Or a little earlier, until February, as earlier reports have suggested. If you would like to learn more about the new Sony console, we invite you to read the extensive text on the subject.
