Watch the PS5 play PS4 games better than ever before
A new video from Digital Foundry makes it immediately clear that the PS5 brings notable performance improvements to many PS4 games. The 30-minute video shows off a lot of big PS4 titles on running PS5, including Crysis Remastered, Dark Souls 3, Days Gone (with its PS5-exclusive 60fps framerate), Ghost of Tsushima (with its PS5-exclusive 60fps framerate), Hitman, Just Cause 3, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice.
I highly recommend that you watch it to see the games in action:

Based on Digital Foundry’s video (and an accompanying article), it appears that most PS4 games will play just fine on the PS5 — and many will play better. If you’ve got a big PS4 backlog you’ve been meaning to get through (*raises hand*), the PS5 seems like it will be a great way to play those older games.
