PS5<\/a> and Xbox Series X<\/a> backwards compatibility will be much better than we thought, as Ubisoft has confirmed the next-gen consoles will be able to run a lot of the best PS4<\/a> and Xbox One games<\/a>. <\/p>\n In a recent earnings call<\/a> (via GamesRadar<\/a>), Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot stated that both Microsoft and Sony’s upcoming consoles “will be running almost all the back catalog of the previous consoles.”<\/p>\n “It will be something new in the industry,”Guillemot said. “[Backwards compatibility] will help the old generations to continue to be big consoles on the market for years to come.”<\/p>\n We already knew that both the PlayStation5 and Xbox Series X will support backwards compatibility. But while Sony has been a bit more upfront about the feature, revealing that the PS5 will be backwards compatibility with PS4 games and hardware, Microsoft has held its cards closer to its chest.<\/p>\n It’s welcome news to hear that we won’t have to trade in our old PS4<\/a> and Xbox One<\/a> games when we upgrade to the next-gen consoles, but we’re still waiting to hear if either console’s backwards compatibility stretches across more than one generation. We certainly hope so. <\/p>\n For now, it’s reassuring to know that we can carry our current-gen game libraries with us into the next generation.<\/p>\n\n
