Sony Is Developing PS3 Emulation For “Select” Titles On PS5 – Report
Sony is reportedly working on PlayStation 3 emulation on PlayStation 5 for “select” titles, if a rumor is to be believed.
According to insider Shpeshal_Nick on the most recent episode of the XboxEra podcast, Sony is currently working on backwards-compatibility for “select” PS3 games on PS5. The wording makes it seem that not every single PS3 game will be included, similarly to how Microsoft did its backwards compatibility program with Xbox 360 games on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S. The insider also does not know if the emulation would include new features.
“I didn’t get any more details than that. Will it have an FPS boost? I’ve got no idea…All I heard was that Sony’s working on selective PlayStation 3 backwards-compatibility.”
