Watch PS5 play PS4 games better than ever

A new video from Digital Foundry immediately makes it clear that the PS5 is bringing important performance to many PS4 games.

The 30-minute video shows off many of the big PS4 titles running on the PS5, including Crysis Remastered, Dark Souls 3, Days Gone (with its PS5-exclusive 60fps framerate), Ghost of Tsushima (with its PS5-exclusive 60fps framerate), Hitman, Just Cause 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.

I very recommend that you watch it to see the games in action:

In the leadup to the PS5’s launch, Sony promised that the “overwhelming majority” of the more 4,000 PS4 games would work on the new console, and we’ve seen some developers announce PS5-exclusive optimizations (like Ghost of Tsushima’s boost to 60fps).

Based on the Digital Foundry video (and an accompanying article), it seems that most PS4 games will do well on the PS5 — and many will play better. If you have a big PS4 stash you’d like to go through, (* raise your hand *), the PS5 looks like it would be a great way to play those old games.
