Alors que les spéculations augmentent concernant la prochaine console PlayStation, souvent appelée PS6, l'une des questions les plus pressantes parmi les joueurs est de savoir si elle prendra en charge la compatibilité arrière pour toutes les générations précédentes de PlayStation. Cette fonctionnalité est devenue de plus en plus importante pour les joueurs qui souhaitent préserver leurs bibliothèques de jeux existantes et profiter des titres classiques sur un matériel nouveau. Bien que Sony ait fait des progrès concernant la compatibilité arrière sur les systèmes récents, étendre ce support à chaque génération antérieure marquerait une avancée significative. La communauté reste optimiste quant à l'inclusion de cette fonctionnalité, assurant un accès fluide à des décennies d'histoire PlayStation.

The PS3 is unlikely to be supported, but digital titles from other generations will probably be compatible.
It’s uncertain whether the next PlayStation will even include a disc drive, let alone support PS1 discs. That capability would be a major selling point, and I would certainly purchase one if it were offered. Current rumors suggest it may resemble a Switch-like design instead.
Fingers crossed! If they add the entire PS1 to PS3 collection to the digital library, I’ll be really happy.
While it would be ideal, achieving full backwards compatibility is nearly impossible due to licensing issues with various rights holders. The PlayStation Classic mini console demonstrated these challenges—even Gran Turismo, a Sony-owned franchise, was excluded because of car and music licenses. Securing rights for the entire collection would be prohibitively expensive and time-consuming, especially with competitors owning certain properties, such as Microsoft holding the rights to Crash Bandicoot. Additionally, tracking down rights holders is difficult, as many companies have dissolved over the years. For example, GOG.com once hired a private investigator to locate the rights holder for a 20-year-old game.
I’ll get in touch with them and let you know what they say.
Could you clarify what they said?
I don’t have that information.
Based on what was shown, what did it indicate?
It’s impossible to know at this point.
There’s no way to know until Sony announces it.
It’s a reasonable expectation.
We’ll know when Sony makes an announcement. For now, we can only speculate.
What’s your guess?
My guess is no, but I hope it’s yes.
It’s highly doubtful that the PS6 will offer full backward compatibility. While it’s a consumer-friendly feature, it isn’t particularly profitable and hasn’t historically been a major selling point for consoles. With Xbox no longer providing strong competition—likely focusing on a different market segment with their next device—Sony has little incentive to invest the resources. They would only pursue it if it were cheap and easy to implement, which seems unlikely.
PS4 and PS5 games will definitely be supported; they won’t repeat the PS3 mistake. Anything beyond that is a bonus.
I respect your perspective. I switched to Xbox this year after being a loyal PlayStation user since 1994, mainly because Xbox has better backwards compatibility. I grew tired of waiting for PlayStation to address this issue.
The PS6 will likely support backwards compatibility with PS4 games. However, PS3 backwards compatibility is improbable, and while PS1 and PS2 games may remain available digitally, using original discs won’t be possible. Sony is unlikely to invest in including a CD laser in the disc drive for such limited use.
It will likely only support PS5 and PS6 games.
I respect your opinion, but the PS5 doesn’t have enough original games—most are remasters. For that reason, backwards compatibility wouldn’t be worth it.
Based on the PS5’s approach to backwards compatibility, which primarily supports PS4 and PS5 games—excluding select remastered titles available in the store—it’s likely the PS6 will follow a similar pattern. It may support PS5 and PS6 games, or possibly include PS4 compatibility as well, with additional remastered versions accessible through the store.
