With the PS5 at present in some lucky homes, it'southward pretty articulate that Sony'due south hope was correct: the "overwhelming majority of the 4,000+ PS4 titles" practice indeed play brilliantly on PS5. Some, such as The Last Guardian, run far better than they ever did on last-generation hardware.

But information technology's besides clear that Sony's official unsupported list of ten so-so titles doesn't tell the full story. A mysterious webpage pulled by Ubisoft had suggested as much, and at present information technology's confirmed.

Kotaku reports that "around 115 games" on the US PlayStation shop come up with the following warning: "When playing on PS5, this game may exhibit errors or unexpected behavior and some features available on PS4 may be absent."

This is annoyingly vague: there's a big deviation between multiplayer being disabled, and a game-breaking issues 20 hours into an RPG, for case. Unfortunately, that's all the guidance yous're getting.

What'southward more confusing is that Kotaku spot checked a number of the games on the list, and while some errors were immediately obvious — the migraine inducing shadow flicker on Assassin's Creed: Syndicate, for example — others seems to play flawlessly. Both Grip and Pixeljunk Shooter Ultimate seemed to work without any obvious issues, which would personally just go out me anxious over exactly when and how things were going to implode.

The other games Kotaku tested were Everybody's Golf (flickering scenery, but there'due south a PS5 patch coming), Flinthook (which suffered from some slowdown) and Hellblade: Senua'due south Sacrifice (some blurry areas in the opening scenes).

It's not clear what sets the games in the list apart from anything else, but if you lot want to do some detective work on your ain PS4 games collection, you can filter the titles with the backwards compatibility warning via this Github tool. Simply alter the "PS5 BC" dropdown to "bootable" and you'll run across every championship that comes with a warning.

Ultimately, the PS5 has a pretty strong lineup of launch titles to keep you busy. Withal, it's definitely worth asking around online before yous purchase any boosted PS4 games to play on the new hardware, Only to make sure things work equally expected.
