PlayStation 5 can play 99% of PS4 games - but these 10 won't work at all

It’s one of the most eagerly anticipated gaming consoles of the year, and now there’s just one month to go until the PlayStation 5 finally goes on sale.

One of the most exciting features is backwards compatibility, allowing gamers to play a range of PlayStation 4 games on the new console.

Sony says that the vast majority of the over 4,000 games available for the PS4 will be playable on the PS5.

Hideaki Nishino, Senior Vice President at Sony Platform Planning & Management, said: "We are focused on the huge catalog of games on PlayStation 4, and we’re pleased that more than 99% of PS4 games will be playable on PS5 on day one.

"This includes games that have defined the PS4 generation – from critically acclaimed PlayStation exclusives like The Last of Us Part II and Ghost of Tsushima, to blockbuster hits from our third-party partners."

However, in a new support document, the tech giant has confirmed that 10 games will not work at all.
