New PS5 Update Finally Enables Choice of Game Version

The latest PlayStation 5 update has added a message that asks users to confirm exactly what version of the game they want to run.

PlayStation 5 is backwards compatible with PlayStation 4, enabling us to run older titles on Sony's next-gen console. Some last-gen games run on PS5 at better resolution and performance, such as Ghost of Tsushima.

These options have just been followed by a silent update for PlayStation, which finally includes a very important feature, namely the dialog window that appears before a game is launched and asks what version of the game we want to run - PS4 or PS5. The novelty was noticed by Twitter user Tidux, who shared a screenshot on the web.

PS5 Review - A Promise of a Better Tomorrow

Karol Laska

His adventure with journalism began with a personal blog, the name of which is no longer worth quoting. Then he interpreted Iranian dramas and the Joker, writing for cinematography journal, which, sadly, no longer exists. His writing credentials include a degree in film studies, but his thesis was strictly devoted to video games. He has been writing for Gamepressure since March 2020, first writing a lot about movies, then in the newsroom, and eventually, he became a specialist in everything. He currently edits and writes articles and features. A long-time enthusiast of the most bizarre indie games and arthouse cinema. He idolizes surrealism and postmodernism. He appreciates the power of absurdity. Which is probably why he also tried soccer refereeing for 2 years (with so-so results). He tends to over-philosophize, so watch out.
