Sony is reportedly working on PS3 backwards compatibility for the PS5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This comes from reputable inside Shpeshal_Nick who reported that his sources had told him that Sony is working on select PS3 backwards compatibility for PS5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A common criticism of the PS5 is its underwhelming backwards compatibility, which only includes PS4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While Sony does sometimes add ports of older PlayStation titles to the PS Plus Premium Classic Catalogue, the majority of older games are unavailable outside the service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These games are playable only with a persistent internet connection on the PS5 and older physical media simply isn’t supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This cloud streaming system is also unavailable in some countries, which means many fans hoping to play older games need to use emulators on PC if they lack older hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Should this rumour be true, this will go a long way in improving the PS5’s value offering and covering one of its chief failings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
