Could Sony be preparing full backwards compatibility for its next PS6 console ? According to a new patentthere are chances. While a new report from Insider-Gaming suggests that this new console, and more broadly, the new generation of consoles could be delayed following the surge in RAM module prices, Sony seems working well on the next PS6despite everything.
The PS6, capable of playing PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 and PS5 games ?
According to a new patent which was filed by Sony a few weeks ago, the Japanese manufacturer would consider offering full backwards compatibility on the next PS6. This would mean that it would be possible to play thousands of games. And more precisely, over 30 years of gamingfrom the PS1 (released in 1994) to the PS5 of 2020, in addition to new games of the PS6.
This patent focuses on the architecture of the next PS6. So we can see that the document describes a technology that would allow existing applications to run on modern hardware. The patent was filed by Sony, but more precisely by a certain Mark Evan Cerny (aka Mark Cerny), the architect of the PS6, who was already the designer of the PS5 and the PS4.
Via this patent, it seems that Sony, Mark Cerny and the engineers at PlayStation are working on solving a fairly restrictive problem: compatibility errors in older games due to the excessive power of new processors.
Still according to this patent, the PS6 should not propose to emulation system. And retro games shouldn’t be played via the raw power of the machine either. Obviously, the PS6 should analyze each gameto propose benchmarks adapted to each title. In other words, when you put your old game into your PS6, the console should automatically adjust settingssuch as frame rates, timings and command execution logic, so that everything is perfectly compatible et sans bugs.
Via this process, Sony could therefore achieve 100% full backwards compatibility PS1, PS2, PS3, PS4 and PS5 games. Of course, it is important to remember that it is only a patent. And that, unfortunately, all the patents filed do not always end up being exploited. The good news is that Sony seems to be working seriously on backwards compatibility.
