For instance, you won’t be able to buy a physical copy of Psychonauts 2 for the PS5 that’s technically only on the PS4, although both physical and digital versions of the PS4 version will run on the PS5. For all the other games, some have unique editions made specifically for each console, whereas some are PlayStation 4 games that are playable on the PlayStation 5 due to its native backwards compatibility. That’s literally only three games out of 20, although one of those three sits at the very top of our list. We’ve made a note of which ones have dual citizenship like that, and which ones require the hard-to-find big boy in order to enjoy. Most of the games on the list below are playable on both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5-the past and the present.
And perhaps that’s why very few games made exclusively for the PlayStation 5 came out this year. That’s not what’s happening right now, though. That number will continue to rise, and hopefully as we float face down out of the pandemic the damn thing will become easy to buy-like, hopefully one day you’ll be able to just walk into a store, pick one up, and take it home. I can confirm that the PlayStation 5 is real, and that over 13 million people have been fortunate to get their hands on one at this point.
Sony’s latest console launched in 2020, but has remained almost impossible to find in stores due to shortages and supply chain issues. Some of you might wonder if the PlayStation 5 actually exists.
