PlayStation may have just confirmed PS3 backward compatibility on the PS5 by accident.

PlayStation -- or, greater specifically, PSN -- may also have simply showed that PS3 backward compatibility is coming to the PS5. And of course, if PS3 backward compatibility is coming to the PS5, PS2 and PS1 backward compatibility can be coming as well. Earlier this week, we relayed phrase of an up to date patent from PlayStation that advised all of this. Now, there appears to be greater evidence, and it once more comes the manner of PlayStation itself. 

Over on Twitter, Jordan Middler relays phrase that the charges of Dead or Alive PS3 video games are displaying up at the PS5's PlayStation Store. Normally, they do not do this, and that they should not do this, due to the fact they are not to be had to buy. Yet, they are. Now, this may be an error, however if it is an error, it comes at an inopportune time for Sony given all of the hypothesis approximately PS3, PS2, and PS1 backward compatibility on PS5 there may be currently.

This is likewise happening the identical week that PlayStation has began to alert UK stores to drag PlayStation Now playing cards from shelves, which, in accordance to three reports, is to put together the manner of a brand new PlayStation subscription carrier codenamed Spartacus. How does this have something to do with backward compatibility on PS5? Well, the modern intel at the subscription carrier claims it's going to now no longer handiest integrate PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus, however permit subscribers to play PS3, PS2, and PS1 video games thru backward compatibility. 

Right now, we're in quite deep speculative territory, so take the entirety right here with a grain of salt. As always, we are able to preserve you up to date because the scenario evolves. This consists of an replace for whilst and if PlayStation responds to the tweet above and the hypothesis it is creating.
