- Sony’s next-gen console isn’t too far away, and the rumors and reports have started.
- A leaker says that the PlayStation 6 will be backward compatible with PS4 and PS5.
- Even the handheld is expected to feature a similar compatibility with older consoles.
As we move closer to the inevitable next console generation, more leaks have started pouring in. Specifically, the PS6 will remain the only traditional home console, as Xbox has taken a completely different approach with the hybrid console.
A new rumor claims that PlayStation 6 will be backward compatible with both the PS5 and the PS4. This will make the next-gen PlayStation the first-ever Sony console to feature backward compatibility with two previous generations.
Why it matters: PS5 was the first-ever Sony console that introduced backward compatibility, and it’s good to see the next generation will build on it by enhancing the capabilities further.
Moore’s Law is Dead in their latest video revealed that PlayStation 6 will offer extensive backward compatibility with the previous-gen consoles. Furthermore, even the handheld will feature similar compatibility.
The PS6, yes, it has backwards compatibility to four and five. And even the handheld, they explicitly say, runs PS4 and PS5 games.
Playing PS5 or even PS4 games on the fly on a PS6 handheld will be very interesting. This also means that your old library of physical games will also be relevant even if you get the latest console, which will delight a lot of fans.
Nonetheless, this is a rumor for now, but this will likely be true, as Sony already made the PS5 backward compatible with the PS4. What’s more exciting is that even the handheld might be able to do the same thing.
