Backward compatibility is one of the most sought out features in a gaming console. Sony’s record with backward compatibility has been pretty inconsistent. While the PS2 could play all PS1 games, the later versions of PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation 4 didn’t support backward compatibility. However, much to the delight of the fans, the PlayStation 5 will be supporting backward compatibility.

While Sony has promised that almost all of the PS4’s library will be backwards compatible, there are a few titles that have been excluded. Here is a list of the PS4 titles that will not be playable on the PlayStation 5.

  • 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

While this might be a bummer for fans of the titles mentioned above, it is good to see that the list contains only a small number of titles. The PlayStation 4 has quite an impressive library, and with Sony extending support of those games to the PlayStation 5, users won’t be running out of games to play on the PlayStation 5 anytime soon.
