PlayStation — or, more precisely, PlayStation Network — may have just verified that the PS5 will support PS3 backward compatibility. Of course, if PS3 backward compatibility is coming to the PS5, it’s likely that PS2 and PS1 backward compatibility will follow. This might be an accident, but if it is, it comes at a bad time for Sony, considering all the recent talk regarding PS3, PS2, and PS1 backward compatibility with the PS5. This comes the same week that PlayStation began notifying UK shops to remove PlayStation Now cards from shelves, reportedly in preparation for the launch of a new PlayStation subscription service codenamed Spartacus.
