Commenting on the imminent appearance Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X, the head of the company Ubisoft Yves Guillot noted that he considers the availability of backward compatibility as one of the key functions of the new systems Sony and Microsoft. This aspect should not only provide a smoother transition between generations, but also help developers and publishers.
As you know, many games of Ubisoft itself are developing according to the service model. Thanks to backward compatibility, it can quickly transfer them to new hardware (previously mentioned the possibility of releasing patches for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X), but at the same time will not give up support on the old. Thus, users who cannot yet afford to buy a new set-top box will continue to bring stable revenue to the company by playing on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, receiving essentially the same content. If they decide to upgrade, they will not lose anything.
“New consoles will be able to run almost all games from previous systems.
It will be something new for the industry. It will allow older generations of systems to remain relevant for many years, “said the president.
The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One debuted without support for backward compatibility with the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, respectively. A few years later, Microsoft began to adapt games from the Xbox 360 and the original Xbox to the Xbox One, while the PlayStation 4 did not receive a similar function.
Today, Microsoft promises the opportunity to run games from all generations of the Xbox on the Xbox Series X.
The PlayStation 5 will definitely get support for backward compatibility with the PlayStation 4, but Sony has not yet talked about it in detail.
Both consoles of the new generation should appear this fall. True, some experts indicate that coronavirus may affect them..
