The backward compatibility of the PS5 may be a bit lacking compared to the extensive back catalog of the Xbox Series X, which dates back to the original Xbox. However, that doesn't matter, as "Bloodborne" is likely to be released as a PS5 remaster.

As a PS4 exclusive, From Software's "Bloodborne" takes the "souls-game" formula, speeds it up, and wraps it in a Victorian London aesthetic steeped in Eldritch horror and Lovecraftian tales. And a lot of blood: it may not have had the impact of 2018's God of War, but it's a fantastic PS4 exclusive and considered one of the best games of its generation.

However, there were a few glitches, with frame rates occasionally dropping below 30 frames per second, which is less than ideal in a brutally fast game where one missed dodge can mean the difference between life and death. Also, loading times were painfully slow, especially for a game where you die multiple times.

However, Bloodborne Remastered for PS5, listed by Fenech retailer Fnac, may fix these problems. As noted by sibling site Gamesradar, Fnac leaked the exact pre-order status of the PS5, so they may be on to something here.

A remastered version of "Bloodborne" would almost certainly take advantage of the PS5's ultra-fast SSD to eliminate long load times and take advantage of its 10.28 teraflops of graphics power to improve frame rates. We can also expect games to run at least in 4K, with sharper textures, and additional content.

However, since Bloodborne will be part of the PS Plus Collection, PS5 owners will have access to a curated selection of key PS4 games as part of the subscription service; Bloodborne is expected to run faster and at higher resolutions on the PS5.

Therefore, it is expected to run faster and at higher resolution on PS5.

This may have caused French retailers to cross wires. Nevertheless, a fully remastered version of "Bloodborne" would allow Sony to sell a new game rather than one that would be bundled with the service. Considering that From Software's "Demon's Souls" is being remade, it is not hard to imagine that "Bloodborne" will be given a graphical makeover.

But there is more interaction between PS5 and PS4.

Sony has stated that most PS4 games will run on the PS5 when it launches, but some of the big PS5 games revealed so far will also appear on the PS4.

One such game is "Horizon Forbidden West," a sequel to the hit PS4 exclusive "Horizon Zero Dawn." Sackboy: A Big Adventure will also be released across generations of PlayStation® consoles, as will Spider-Man: Miles Morales.

"While the timing of the PS4 community's transition to PS5 will be different for each, we are pleased to announce the PS4 versions of these exclusive titles," the official PlayStation blog explained. While these three games are designed to take advantage of the PS5 and its next-generation features like the ultra-fast SSD and DualSense controller, PS4 owners will also be able to enjoy these experiences as soon as they launch."

This is good news for those who want to play these games but are not quite ready to throw down $499 for the PS5 or $399 for the digital edition. Sony is also offering free upgrades to the PS5 versions of the aforementioned games, similar to what Microsoft is doing with cross-generational games for the Xbox Series X.

The PS4 digital versions of games such as Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Sackboy A Big Adventure, and Horizon Forbidden West can be upgraded to PS5 digital versions at no additional charge. However, if you purchased these games on PS4 on disc, you will need a standard PS5 for $499 with a disc drive to enjoy the upgraded versions for free.

Nevertheless, the best way to experience these PS5-exclusives would be to play them on the PS5 console; Horizon Forbidden West looks fantastic from what little I've seen so far, full of gorgeous detail and graphic effects. Horizon Zero Dawn was also a visually appealing game that pushed the PS4, so I'm a bit skeptical that a sequel would work particularly well.

Nevertheless, in terms of games that span console generations, there seems to be a bridge between the PS5 and PS4. And overall, that's a very good thing for PlayStation fans. Just don't expect God of War 2: Ragnarok to be released on PS4.
