Sony PlayStation 5 : Play Has No Limits

PS5 Release Date, PS5 Games, PS5 Power vs Xbox One X, PS5 Price Speculation - All the PS5 Info lets discuss



Here are all the rumors and speculation surrounding the PS5, including a potential PS5 release date, power, and launch games of Sony's inevitable PS5. Is the PS5 releasing in 2019?


What we Want From the PS5 Speculation aside, what would we ideally want from the PS5? Backwards compatibility for PS4 games would be brilliant, simply because you'd be able to carry over classics like the Shadow of the Colossus remake to the next console generation. We've seen how well Microsoft is handling backwards compatibility with its Xbox One consoles (including getting amazing results updating Xbox 360 games to run in 4K on Xbox One X), and something similar on PS5 would be great.

In terms of pure power, the PlayStation 5 has to significantly exceed the power of the Xbox One X. This means featuring more games running in 4K at 60FPS. If the PS5 can deliver about 10 TF of power we'd be happy, as this would allow devs to create games that look a generation ahead of what we've got now.

But what would the dream launch lineup be for the PS5? Death Stranding and The Last of Us: Part 2 are hugely anticipated blockbuster games, with the former especially looking to push the performance of whatever system it's on to the very limit. We've also mentioned Ghost of Tsushima and a sequel to Horizon Zero Dawn, and the latter would be the perfect way to kick off a new console cycle from Sony.

The study was conducted from September 23 to 25, 2020, using a sample of 511 US-based respondents

The thirst is real.
Looking at the next-gen game offering, 52% of the respondents who have pre-ordered a PS5 (or who intend to buy one by the end of 2020) said that Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales was the exclusive game that encouraged them to do so, followed by God of War: Ragnarok (42%) and Final Fantasy XVI (32%).
But but...exclusives don't matter as much as we think they do. How could this possibly be?? :unsure:

Edit: Apparently, some need more than a sample size as proof of the PS5's dominance. Global sales figures by year's end should cover that lol.

The study was done after Sep 23rd, after the Bathesda sale and the pre orders for both next gen platforms being live. 63% of the people didn't know about the sale, meaning the remaining 37% .. I guess those are the entirety of people who made the choice to pre order Xboxes in the survey lol

Unless the issue is a sample size, it's called a 'sample' size for a reason 🤷‍♂️

But but...exclusives don't matter as much as we think they do. How could this possibly be?? :unsure:
Exclusives are the biggest thing that matter, anyone who says otherwise is just deluding themselves. Exclusives are what make people buy a console even though they already own a gaming PC which would theoretically play all multi-platform games better than consoles.

Im surprised at the percentage of people seeing the point in buying an Xbox since Xbox doesn't have any exclusive 🤷‍♂️

i'm sure if a similar poll is done in Europe (or Japan lol) the percentage's gonna be much lower. US has historically been the Xboxes (only) strong market.

Exclusives are not even open to debate (unless you don't have them lol). Sony and Nintendo haven't been leading the industry for years for nothing. Numbers do the talking. All this doesn't mean that people only play exclusives on Sony and Nintendo systems or that there isn't a multiplatform console market (this shouldn't require spelling out whenever one talks about exclusives).

Btw, some people would be buying a Switch as well during the holiday season (I already did :p), though it might not be a significant percentage. As for PS5, if PS4 data is anything to go by, obviously PS5 will sell the most. Don't need a survey for that. Rest we'll see the actual numbers by the year-end.

WD have revealed their first PS5 compatible SSD in their latest presser.

The one's on the right which say compatible with PS and Xbox are poratble drives.



WD Black’s NVMe series is pretty good and now with RGB? Too bad won’t be visible at all inside a PS5, and ofcourse no software as well to customize it lol.

Does that mean we can use the portable SSDs with the PS5 too or by "Works with Playstation" they are referring to PS4 ?

It 'works' on playstation as in it will plug and play just fine. On PS5's you will only be able to use it for BC games and cold storage of PS5 games.

To play native PS5 games you'll need to use the internal or the specialized PS5 compatible SSD on the left of the chart.

Sony has detailed how PS4 BC will work in greater detail including some games which will *NOT* work.



The PS5™ console is backward compatible with the overwhelming majority of PS4™ games. That means an amazing collection of thousands of PS4 games can be played on your PS5 console.

PS4 games playable on PS5 consoles
The overwhelming majority of the 4,000+ PS4 games are playable on PS5 consoles.


  • Select PS4 games will benefit from the PS5 console’s Game Boost, which may make PS4 games run with a higher or smoother frame rate.
  • Although many PS4 games are playable on PS5 consoles, some functionalities that were available on the PS4 console may not be available on PS5 consoles. In addition, some PS4 games may exhibit errors or unexpected behavior when played on PS5 consoles.
  • Before purchasing add-ons to play with your PS4 games on PS5 consoles, please try to boot and play your PS4 games on your PS5 console to see if you are happy with the play experience.
  • Please note, playing PS VR games on a PS5 console requires a PlayStation VR headset, a PS camera (sold separately from PS5 console) and a PS camera adaptor (no purchase required).
  • Always update your PS5 console to the latest version of the system software.
PS4 only games
While the majority of PS4 games are playable on PS5 consoles, below is a list of PS4 games that are playable on PS4 only. On PlayStation™Store, PS4 games that are not playable on the PS5 console will be marked with ‘Playable on: PS4 only’.

  • DWVR
  • Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One
  • TT Isle of Man - Ride on the Edge 2
  • Just Deal With It!
  • Shadow Complex Remastered
  • Robinson: The Journey
  • We Sing
  • Hitman Go: Definitive Edition
  • Shadwen
  • Joe's Diner

No graphical upgrade or higher fps support on most games.. true?
Just like with the Series X, PS4 games that run at a dynamic resolution and unlocked frame rate will scale accordingly on the PS5. Meanwhile, games that don't offer such options can be updated to support Game Boost, much like what Sucker Punch is doing with Ghost of Tsushima.

GoW, for example, will run at 1080p/60fps on PS5 from the get-go. Santa Monica may opt to offer an additional 4K mode with unlocked frame rate to further utilize Game Boost.

Save files will also transfer from PS4 to PS5, although devs have the option of opting out of this for their game. Spiderman remastered, for example, won't allow PS4 save files to work.

Like with MS's BC program, select games will get enhancements, the rest will run in native PS4/PRO mode.

Not every BC game on the Series X/S runs with enhancements either, just the one's MS enhances or asks devs to enhance for the BC program. The rest all run as they did on the XBO/XBX.

What I read was different..I heard most PS4 games will run exactly how they did one the ps4 and only a select few will take advantage of gameboost feature (higher framrates)

I maybe forgetting something but on the series X side we have Xbox One and Xbox 360 compatibly, graphical upgrades, resolution and framrates upgrades and auto HDR

    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.
