New Sony Patent Hints At Backwards Compatibility For PS5

The talk around Sony’s next generation console, presumably the PlayStation 5, have been non-stop over the course of the previous year. With the typical console life cycle shifting to next gen somewhere around the six year mark, the PS4 is currently in year number six leaving many wondering when we’ll see the next in line of PlayStation consoles.

While the tremendous success behind the fourth generation Sony home console continues to ride through waves of success, it’s important for the company to move forward along with the competition. So, how does Sony avoid losing its current install base, which currently dominates all other competition? Why, allowing the current library of PS4 titles to play on the next PlayStation hardware, of course.

A new patent from Sony was recently registered, and the few bits of information that were present, were highlighted with some pretty interesting details. One, is that PS4 architect, Mark Cerny, and has been working on a new formula which would allow legacy titles to run on next gen hardware. Essentially, next gen games will play as intended, while previous gen, or “legacy”, titles would run off an imitated processor resulting in backwards compatibility.

The PS5 is no question in development, and backwards compatibility is a much-desired feature many current PS4 owners are hoping for. While older gen libraries like the PS2 and original PlayStation have been emulated on past consoles before, working with specifically the PS3 architecture provides its own set of obstacles.

While we’re definitely due for some next gen PlayStation news in 2019, there’s been no confirmation that this patent is even for the PS5. Furthermore, many patents often don’t lead to anything substantial, so take this piece of info with a grain of salt until more details are revealed.

Friday the 13th The Game’s license expires on December 31, a Sunday. The game will no longer be sold physically or digitally after that date.

Players who buy the game before the deadline can play for another year, with game servers running until at least Tuesday, December 31, 2024.

The PS4 game was released in 2017 on a Friday, but not the 13th. We imagine the hardcore have had their fill by now. If not, a year should be enough to finish up.

Any good sequel builds on that foundation and creates something new. Keigh-3 (Summer Game Fest) revealed a tantalizing gameplay trailer for the game.

Remnant II’s Handler Archetype, a pet class with guns and good boys, has caught our attention as development continues. The Gunslinger Archetype offers six-shooter DPS for purists. On July 25, PS5 gamers can find a more intense cooperative experience.
