this guide for more information.
Will PS4 demos or betas be playable on PS5?The majority of legacy PS4 demos and betas will not be playable on PS5. Moving forward, however, new demos and betas will be playable on the PS5.
Are there specific PS5 and PS4 versions of games?Yes. PS5 games are unique and specially made to tap into the special benefits of the next generation of console gaming, including the DualSense wireless controller’s haptic feedback and adaptive triggers, ultra-fast loading times, enhanced visuals, and 3D Audio.
If I have a PS4 game, can I upgrade it to a PS5 version?Certain PS4 games can be upgraded to the digital PS5 version of the game on a PS5 console. When using a PS5 console, you may have the option to upgrade a disc or digital PS4 game to the digital PS5 version. Depending on the game, this upgrade may occur at no additional cost, may require a purchase, and may be available for a limited time. An internet connection is required. For more information, refer
here.
For example, the PS4 version of Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, and the PS4 version of Sackboy: A Big Adventure both offer upgrades to the digital PS5 versions of the games at no additional cost. If you own PS4 versions of these games, simply visit the game’s Hub for that title on your PS5 (Note: you’ll need to insert the PS4 disc into your PS5 console first if you bought the physical disc rather than the PS Store version of the PS4 game), and you’ll see an offer to download the PS5 version.
Please note: Blu-ray discs are not compatible with the PS5 Digital Edition. If you own PS4 Blu-ray discs, you will not be able to use them with the PS5 Digital Edition console, including to redeem offers to upgrade a PS4 game to a PS5 version. You can, however, upgrade eligible digital games.
If I don’t upgrade my PS4 game to the PS5 version, or if there is no PS5 version, can I still play the PS4 version of the game on PS5?Yes, if the PS4 version of the game is compatible with the PS5, it will be playable on PS5 without upgrading. More than 99% of the 4,000+ PS4 games are compatible with PS5. Refer to
this guide for more information.
If I have a PS4 game disc, but I own the PS5 Digital Edition, can I upgrade my game?No, you wouldn’t be able to upgrade the physical copy or play it on the console, since the PS5 Digital Edition does not include a Blu-ray disc drive.
How do I transfer my PS4 game save files to PS5?Players can transfer game save files from a PS4 console to PS5 using a LAN cable, by connecting wirelessly (WiFi), or saving the save files to a compatible USB drive. And if you are an active PS Plus member, you can transfer your PS4 game saves to your PS5 using cloud storage.
Can I transfer save game progress from a PS4 game to a PS5 version of that same game?The ability to transfer game saves between a PS4 version and a PS5 version of the same game is a developer decision and will vary title by title for cross-generational games.
For Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales, if players decide to upgrade from PS4 to PS5, their game saves will transfer. Sackboy: A Big Adventure also will support game save transfers from PS4 to PS5 in an update that will be delivered before the end of the year.
Note: If players originally purchased a PS4 game disc, the PS5 console with an Ultra HD Blu-ray disc drive is required to upgrade to the PS5 version of the game and transfer their saves over.
How does online multiplayer work with PS4 games when played on a PS5?Whether you’re playing a multiplayer PS4 game on your PS4 or PS5 (via backward compatibility), you will be able to play with other players on either console for the same game.
If I’m playing a PS4 game, can I play with my friend who is playing the PS5 version of that game, or vice-versa?It is possible to play together depending on the game, though support must be provided by the game’s developer.
Can PS4 and PS5 players communicate via voice chat?Yes, PS4 and PS5 players (and users of the new PlayStation app for mobile devices) can communicate via voice chat in Parties. Depending on the game, the in-game chat will also work across PS4 and PS5 versions of a game.
How will game invite work between the PS4 and PS5?Players will be able to send and receive invitations for games that support cross-gen play across the PS4 and PS5. Once the PS5 launches, if you receive an invitation to join a game session, the notification will display which platform the game supports. If a PS5 game does not have a PS4 version available, PS4 players will not receive the invite.
Will I still have access to my PS4 PlayStation Plus games library on PS5?Yes. If a PS4 game is playable on the PS5, and you are still a PlayStation Plus member, you will be able to download it onto your PS5 and play.
Will PS Now be available on PS5?Yes, players with a PS Now subscription will be able to use PlayStation Now with their PS5, both for streaming and downloading of supported games.
Will PlayStation Plus offer PS5 games?All PlayStation Plus members will continue to receive at least two great PS4 games each month.
