向后兼容性，或控制台运行上一代游戏光盘的能力，是系统具有的重要功能。PlayStation控制台并非始终向后兼容，例如PS4不玩PS3或PS2游戏（除非它们已被移植到PS4格式）。
因此，随着PlayStation 系列游戏机(PlayStation family of consoles)的最新版本现已上市，许多粉丝都想知道：PS5可以玩旧版PS4或PS3游戏吗？
答案有点复杂，具体取决于您要玩什么，但对于这款控制台，向后兼容性肯定是Sony关注的焦点。
PS5 可以玩 PS4 游戏吗？
好消息是PS5已向后兼容PS4游戏，但如何玩游戏取决于您购买 的PS5游戏机版本。(PS5)
如果您的PS5带有光驱，您就可以在PS5主机上使用您的PS4光盘。您还可以玩您可能已经从PlayStation商店下载的PS4游戏。(PS4)当您使用PlayStation Network帐户 登录PS5时，它们会自动连接。(PS5)
如果您拥有PS5 数字版(PS5 Digital Edition)，您仍然可以玩PS4游戏，但您将无法播放您可能拥有的任何PS4光盘。(PS4)您拥有的数字PS4游戏将可以玩。
您还可以在PS5上玩(PS5)PS4 PlayStation VR游戏，但您还需要PS VR耳机、用于PS4的(PS4)PlayStation 相机(PlayStation Camera)和相机(Camera)适配器。您可以免费向Sony索取(Sony)PlayStation Camera适配器，以将您的PS VR耳机连接到您的PS5。
PS5 可以玩 PS3 游戏吗？
不幸的是，PS5无法播放PS3游戏光盘，但您可以玩一些PS3游戏。(PS3)PlayStation已经发布了许多PS3游戏作为PS4重制版，例如Last of Us和God of War，您绝对可以在PS5上玩。
使用PS5，您还可以使用PlayStation Now，这是一种流媒体服务，可让您从基于云的服务器流式传输游戏。使用此服务，您可以玩PS3和PS2上的精选游戏。PlayStation Now 需要按月付费，但您可以访问任何您想玩的游戏。
因此，虽然从技术上讲PS5无法玩PS3游戏，但您可以在(PS3)PS5上以某种方式 玩您那一代的许多最爱。
旧的 PlayStation 游戏怎么样？
答案与PlayStation 3(PlayStation 3)游戏大致相同。您不能在PS5上使用(PS5)PS2或PS1光盘，但是PlayStation商店有一些PS2和PS1游戏以及为 PS4 制作的重制版（例如MediEvill）。
如前所述，您通过PlayStation商店在(PlayStation)PS4上购买的游戏会自动连接到您的PSN ( PlayStation Network ) 帐户。这适用于任何数字游戏，无论它们来自哪一代。当您使用PSN帐户登录PS5时，您应该可以使用 PS4中的所有数字游戏。(PS4)
因此，这意味着您可以在PS5上玩旧(PS5)PlayStation游戏的数字版本。如果您不想购买这些游戏的任何数字版本，例如PS3游戏，也可以选择使用PlayStation Now。
该服务不仅提供PS3游戏，还提供较早的PS2游戏。这使您可以轻松玩任何您想要的游戏，而无需购买即可。玩PS1游戏可能更难实现，因为 PlayStation Now 上并没有真正的游戏库，但对于某些游戏，您可以找到PS4的重新制作版本。
为什么PS5(PS5)不能玩老游戏(Games)？
在较新的游戏机上向后兼容 PS3 游戏(backwards compatibility for PS3 games)是有原因的： PS3系统的内部结构与(PS3)PS5的内部结构截然不同。这使得在最新的游戏机上玩PS3游戏是浪费时间。
PS3运行在一个独特的处理系统上，因此极难复制和模仿。相比之下，PS4与PS5更兼容。而且，由于在最新的游戏机上玩PS3游戏的方式已经很多，索尼(Sony)认为没有必要承担如此艰巨的任务。
至于更老的游戏机，他们的系统甚至从PS5中移除，因此索尼(Sony)选择自行更改和重新制作单个游戏，而不是对整个游戏机进行困难的更改。
重制游戏的更多选择
随着时间的推移，您可能会看到越来越多您喜爱的经典游戏的重制版本，所以如果您喜爱的某些游戏还不能在(favorite classic games)PS5上玩，请不要灰心。
那么，告诉我们您想在PlayStation 5上看到哪些重制版和重制版游戏？
Will PS5 Play PS4 and PS3 Games?
Backwards compatibility, or the ability for a console to run game discs from the prеvious generation, is an imрortant feature for a system to hаve. PlayStatiоn consoles have not been consіstently bаckwards compatible, such as with the PS4 not plaуing PS3 or PS2 games (unless they’ve been ported to the PS4 format).
So, with the newest edition to the PlayStation family of consoles now available, many fans are wondering: can the PS5 play older PS4 or PS3 games?
The answer is a little bit complex depending on what you’re trying to play, but for this console backwards compatibility has certainly been a focus for Sony.
Can the PS5 Play PS4 Games?
The good news is that the PS5 has been made backwards compatible with PS4 games, but how you play them depends on which version of the PS5 console you’ve bought.
If you got the PS5 with the disc drive, you’ll be able to use your PS4 discs on your PS5 console. You can also play PS4 games that you may have downloaded already from the PlayStation store. They’ll automatically be connected when you log into your PS5 with your PlayStation Network account.
If you got the PS5 Digital Edition, you can still play PS4 games, but you won’t be able to play any PS4 discs you may have. The digital PS4 games you own will be playable though.
You can also play PS4 PlayStation VR games on the PS5, yet you’ll also need a PS VR headset, PlayStation Camera for PS4, and a Camera adaptor. You can request a PlayStation Camera adaptor for free from Sony to connect your PS VR headset to your PS5.
Can the PS5 Play PS3 Games?
Unfortunately, the PS5 can’t play PS3 game discs, but there are some PS3 games you will be able to play. PlayStation has released many PS3 games as PS4 remasters, such as Last of Us and God of War, and you can definitely play them on the PS5.
With the PS5 you’ll also be able to use PlayStation Now, which is a streaming service that allows you to stream games from cloud-based servers. With this service, you can play select games from the PS3 as well as the PS2. PlayStation Now requires a monthly fee, but you’ll have access to any of these games you want to play.
So, while technically the PS5 can’t play PS3 games, many of your favorites from that generation will be available for you to play on the PS5 in some way.
How About Older PlayStation Games?
The answer to this is about the same as with PlayStation 3 games. You can’t use PS2 or PS1 discs with the PS5, however there are some PS2 and PS1 games that are available on the PlayStation store as well as remastered versions (such as MediEvill) made for the PS4.
Games you buy on the PS4 through the PlayStation store, as previously mentioned, are automatically connected to your PSN (PlayStation Network) account. This goes for any digital game, no matter what generation they are from. When you log into your PS5 with your PSN account, all your digital games from your PS4 should be available to you.
So, this means that digital versions of older PlayStation games will be available for you to play on the PS5. If you don’t want to buy any digital versions of these games, like with PS3 games there’s also the option of using PlayStation Now.
This service offers not only PS3 games, but also older PS2 games. This makes it easy to play any game you want without having to buy it if you don’t want to. Playing PS1 games may be harder to achieve, as there isn’t really a library of them on PlayStation Now, but for some games you can find remastered versions for the PS4.
Why Can’t Older Games Be Played on the PS5?
There’s a reason why backwards compatibility for PS3 games on newer consoles is so difficult: the inner makeup of the PS3 system is wildly different from that of the PS5. This makes it a waste of time to make PS3 games playable on the newest console.
The PS3 ran on a unique processing system, making it extremely difficult to replicate and emulate. The PS4, in comparison, is more compatible with the PS5. And, since there are already many ways to play PS3 games on the latest consoles, Sony hasn’t felt it imperative to take up such a difficult task.
As for even older consoles, their systems are even further removed from the PS5, so Sony opts instead to change and remaster the individual games themselves instead of making a difficult change to the console as a whole.
More Choices With Remastered Games
As time goes on you’ll likely see more and more remastered versions of your favorite classic games, so don’t feel too discouraged if some of the ones you love aren’t available for you to play on the PS5 yet.
So, tell us which are remakes and remastered games you want to see on the PlayStation 5?
