Can PS4 play PS2 discs? Can PS5 play PS3 discs?

No, the PS4 cannot play PS2 discs. The PS4 is not backward compatible with physical PS2 game discs. However, PS4 owners can still access some classic PS2 games via the PlayStation Store, where certain PS2 titles have been remastered or made available for download. These games are not the original PS2 discs but are versions that have been reworked for the PS4.

Can PS5 Play PS3 Discs?

Similarly, the PS5 is not backward compatible with PS3 game discs. While you can enjoy some PS3 titles on the PS5 through cloud gaming services like PlayStation Now, the PS5 does not support physical PS3 discs. As with the PS4, certain PS3 games have been re-released or remastered for the PS5, but original PS3 discs are not supported on the newer console.

Summary:

  • PS4 cannot play PS2 discs, but some PS2 games are available digitally on the PlayStation Store.
  • PS5 cannot play PS3 discs, but select PS3 games can be streamed or remastered for the PS5.
