This means…we may be able to play our older PlayStation games once again. However, this may mean that this is only for PlayStation Classic games, as this is a software fix, not a hardware one. So, this means that while we will be able to play PlayStation classic games, it may be limited to what can be found through the PlayStation Subscription service- either PlayStation Plus , or PlayStation Now , if not a later combined application of the two.
This has not been confirmed yet though by Sony. So, there is currently no release date on possible backward compatibility, and it may be more than just software. And hopefully, if this does come as a subscription service like the Nintendo Switch Expansion … hopefully there had been some care to make the games we know and love more playable.
Krystle Ritchie January 13, And what is the patent for? There's nothing about the patent that suggests it has anything to do with enabling backward compatibility support for PS3 games or PS2 games or PS1 games, but that's of course where everyone's mind immediately goes to.
The unfortunate reality is Sony constantly files for patents, many of which never graduate beyond the conceptual stage. Over the years, a wide range of tantalizing PlayStation patents have surfaced online, and nothing has ever come of them.
This is true not only of Sony patents, but patents in general. At the moment of publishing, Sony has not addressed any of this in any capacity and we don't expect this to change. It never comments on patents nor the speculation they create.
