Sony has revealed the surprisingly small list of PS4 games that do not work on PlayStation 5 backward compatibility.
Posted on the PlayStation support website, just 10 PlayStation 4 games were listed as unplayable on Sony’s next-generation games console.
While “the overwhelming majority of the 4,000+ PS4 games are playable on PS5 consoles,” Sony does state that “some functionalities that were available on the PS4 console may not be available on PS5 consoles” with certain games being prone to “errors or unexpected behavior” on the next-gen console.
Furthermore, certain titles will see better performance through the use of “Game Boost”, an enhanced backward compatibility layer that will see PS4 games run faster than before.
Anyways, here are the 10 PS4 games that don’t work on PlayStation 5:
- DWVR
- Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One
- TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2
- Just Deal With It!
- Shadow Complex Remastered
- Robinson: The Journey
- We Sing
- Hitman Go: Definitive Edition
- Shadwen
- Joe’s Diner
PS5 launches on November 12th in some countries and November 19th in others. PlayStation 4 games in backward compatibility mode can be played with PlayStation 4 DualShock controllers but PS5 games are locked off unless they’re played with the next-gen DualSense controller.
