PlayStation 3 Games Are Now Available on The PS5 Store
Surprisingly, there are a lot of PlayStation3 titles on the PlayStation 5store. This suggests that Sony is preparing for its answer to Xbox Game Pass.
Recently filed a patent application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. It describes a feature that would ensure “backward compatibleity through use of the lock and fine grains frequency control” on a PlayStation. This is a fascinating shift in priorities, considering that Microsoft holds the market for this gaming area with its Xbox Game Pass titles. Sony continues to look at the future and its exclusives.
Ratchet & Clank’s Rift Apart was our game of the Year. Its great art direction, inventive combat mechanics, and compelling storyline blew us away. You can read our review here.
This, combined with the fact that PlayStation Now Cards will be removed by retailers by the end of this month, makes it possible to say that Sony’s backwards compatibility proposals will come sooner than we expected. Bloomberg reports that the company will consolidate the PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus options into one subscription service. The report claims that this service will be available in spring 2022. However, it will retain the branding of PlayStation Plus and not PlayStation Now.
Users discovered that they could search on the PlayStation 5 store for PlayStation 3 games. They also show a price as an attachment to the search results. This is odd because the game should direct users to the PlayStation Now version, as this is the only way to access older games on the newer hardware.
These games can be added to the user’s wishlist even though they are only available on the console store. They also cannot be spotted on either the browser or app version of the store. This glitch could result from a recent update to the store, which was before the release of Sony’s PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus combo combination. Therefore, we need to wait to see what happens next. That’s what you are good at.
