According to Hideaki Nishino, Sony's senior vice president of Platform Planning and Management, the PS5 is designed to be backward compatible with more than "99 percent" of PS4's 4,000+ game library, playable from launch day.The console is compatible with PlayStation VR.Because of PS5's high-speed SSD and increased processing power, many PS4 games gain from improved loading times or gameplay speeds "so that they can benefit from higher or more stable frame rates and potentially higher resolutions".
Players can synchronize their saved game files through cloud storage or transfer them using a USB storage device so no progress is lost. Backward compatibility is enabled in part by the similarity of hardware architecture, such as "extra logic" in the RDNA 2 GPU that ensures compatibility with PS4's GCN-based GPU. Mark Cerny explained during a March 2020 presentation and later in an interview with Digital Foundry how CPU clock timing required particular attention.
Although the Zen 2 CPU has an instruction set to handle the PS4's Jaguar CPU, their timings can be very different, so Sony worked closely with AMD when developing the Zen 2 CPU to more closely match the Jaguar's timings. PS5 backward compatibility may exhibit errors with some PS4 games, and does not include previous generations. The PlayStation 4's Share menu cannot be displayed but the Create button can capture screenshots and access the Create menu.On October 9, 2020 Sony released a list of ten PS4 games identified as being incompatible with PS5.

You did an excellent job with the OT, it's really fantastic and it will be a great place to discuss and get hyped for the launch / launches (since we have two... 12th and 19th).
Since Gran Turismo 7 doesn't come out for a while I plan to start with some PS4 games since my last console was a PS3. When does the PlayStation Store's Black Friday event start? I'll probably grab some games then.
I pre-ordered mine in April, now I won't be getting it until the 13th of December at the earliest. Sony better kick TSMC's ass and get that yield and production up already!

One of Norway's largest electronics retailers. They obviously vastly over-estimated their allocation from Sony. But again, most people who want one here will have to wait until next year and even next summer to get a PS5 so I guess I shouldn't complain too much over an additional 3 weeks of waiting.
My two consoles directly from Sony has been sitting in memphis since Saturday (Nov 7TH) thought I was going to get them early until I logged my FedEx account Sony requested delayed delivery
