Sony is going to improve backward compatibility between the latest PlayStation 5 console and games for the previous generation of consoles. To this end, the company updated the corresponding patent published on the network. This document says that first, old games will be launched and tested on "native" consoles. During the study, the frame rate of the game and other important characteristics will be recorded. Then the same procedure will be carried out on the 5th generation prefix and compare the data obtained.

It is also emphasized that it is very important for Sony that old games go on new consoles without loss of performance. But if you only rely on more powerful hardware in accelerating games, this can lead to a huge number of bugs, developers say. That is why programmers will be engaged in optimizing games and increasing their frame rate. PlayStation 5 is Sony's new set-top box. The exact date of its release is still unknown, but persistent rumors are circulating in the network that sales will begin in early 2020.
