At least among large projects
Yes, there will be games on the Sony PlayStation 5 console that cannot be played on the PS4. Perhaps such games will be the majority
However, many owners of the current generation of Sony consoles are clearly interested in the question of whether the new generation games will work on the PS4 and PS4 Pro. This is especially important against the background of rumors about the price of a new set-top box in the region of $ 500.
Jim Ryan, vice president of Sony Interactive Entertainment and head of PlayStation, raised this issue in a recent interview. There was no particular specificity in his words, but you can definitely say that there will be games that will work exclusively on the PS5. Moreover, Ryan’s words hint that there will be a majority among major projects of such games.
We have always said that we believe in a generational change. We believe that when you solve all the problems associated with creating the next-generation console, it should include features and technologies that the previous generation does not include. And in our opinion, developers should make games that can make the most of these features.
Whether it’s a DualSense controller, whether it’s 3D sound, or using SSD in several ways – we think it’s time to give the PlayStation community something new that you can really enjoy only on the PS5
We can assume that on June 4 we will see, including games that will only work on the PlayStation 5. And we could say that this is expected because it was the same with the last generation change, but in fact the last time the problem was in the very specific architecture of the Cell platform that underpins the PS3, which makes developing games for this set-top box extremely difficult. But the PS4 / PS4 Pro and PS5 in this regard, on the contrary, will be very similar.
But, as we see, those who want to enjoy the games of the new generation will still have to buy a new console.
