\nSony earlier this year confirmed that the \u201coverwhelming majority\u201d of the more than 4,000 PlayStation 4 games on the market will be backward compatible with the company\u2019s upcoming PlayStation 5. What about older games from the PlayStation 3 and beyond? Will gamers be able to play such titles on next-gen hardware? Ubisoft doesn\u2019t seem to think so. According to this support page from the French video game company, the PlayStation 5 will support backward compatibility with select PS4 titles but explicitly notes that such functionality will not be possible for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 or original PlayStation games. To clarify, we aren\u2019t 100 percent certain if Ubisoft is speaking just about its catalog of games or all games in general. It sounds like the latter, but don\u2019t take that as gospel just yet. Both the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X are expected to launch this November. Image credit: Lutsenko_Oleksandr<\/p>\n
