Sony wants to follow-up on the historic success of the PlayStation 4 with its next-gen console, the unsurprisingly named PlayStation 5. With the PlayStation brand stronger than ever before, many people are already predicting that Sony could be in the driver’s seat heading into the next-generation of console gaming.

But that doesn’t mean a thing if you ain’t got those games. Sony will launch the PS5 with both a series of first-party exclusives and many next-gen third-party titles. Could these games be enough to beat out the Xbox Series X’s confirmed list of titles?

Below, you’ll find a breakdown of the launch titles you’ll get on the PS5 as well as the PS4 games you’ll be able to upgrade to their PS5 versions for free and the PlayStation Collections library you can expect to see on day one:

Can You Play PS4 Games on PS5?

The short answer is yes. Almost all of the over 4,000 games available for the PS4 will be compatible with the PS5, including PSVR games if you already own the PSVR headset and PlayStation Camera. You can even transfer digital games, game data, and game saves from your PS4 to the PS5 through LAN, wifi, USB drives, and cloud storage if you’re a PS Plus member. Here’s a breakdown of how that works.

As for how playing PS4 games on a PS5 will improve those experiences, here’s what Sony has to say about that: “Select PS4 titles will see increased loading speeds on the PS5 console, and will also leverage Game Boost, offering improved or more stable frame rates. Some titles with unlocked frame rates or dynamic resolution up to 4K may see higher fidelity. Additionally, PS4 games will also take advantage of some of PS5’s new UX features, but more to come on that later.”

You will, of course, also be able to play PS4 game discs on the PS5.

Some PS4 titles won’t be playable on PS5 at all, but we don’t think these omissions will send you into much of a frenzy. Here’s the list of PS4-only games:

DWVR
Afro Samurai 2 Revenge of Kuma Volume One
TT Isle of Man – Ride on the Edge 2
