The CEO stated that Sony took into consideration that the PS4 currently has 100 million players, and directed resources toward adding backward compatibility of PS4 games to the PS5.
The collection will include PS4 games that will be playable for subscribers, with 18 titles available immediately on launch.
The PS5 will retail for US$499.99, and the PS5 Digital Edition (which does not include the disc slot) will retail for US$399.99.
Sony also previously announced that the “overwhelming majority” of over 4,000 PS4 titles will be playable on the PS5.
