Beyond PS4, Will PlayStation 5 be backwards compatible to play classic PS3, PS2, and original PlayStation titles? , this question has been on everyone’s mind since the new console’s reveal. Unfortunately, the latest news confirms that’s not the plan, According to Ubisoft.

As each publisher seems to be taking a different approach, the question about how titles shall transition from PS4 to PS5 is clearly explained by a Ubisoft support page.
