Better late than never: Sony is now finally alerting us if we try to run the PlayStation 4 version of a game on a PlayStation 5 if it’s also available on the PS5.

The first image below is from Twitter, and it shows a new feature that should have been part of the PlayStation 5’s user interface (or as they call it, user experience) from day one. Let’s say you have a game that is available on both PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 (an example could be Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales), and if you want to start the PlayStation 4 version, the console will ask you if you’d prefer playing the PS5 version of the title instead.

But this isn’t the only new addition: Tidux’ tweet got a reply, which showcases a new feature that shows up before you get to download a game. For example, DIRT 5 has both a PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 version, which has a few differences – for example, the version for the 2013 console is 26.58 GB, while the one made for the new Sony machine is no less than 46.52% This situation is present because the PlayStation 5 (regardless which version – the PlayStation 5 Digital Edition is 100 USD/EUR cheaper, but it omits an Ultra HD Blu-ray drive) is backwards compatible with almost all the PlayStation 4 titles.

And on Reddit, an incredibly talented designer has shown up, who reworked the PlayStation 5’s design with elements taken from the PlayStation 2 to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the PlayStation (even though the PS1 launched in December ’94 in Japan – it’s probably including the Nintendo Play Station…). „It was challenging looking for subtle ways to add elements of the PlayStation 2 design language without it overpowering the design of the PlayStation 5. I’m sure it can be further improved upon, in the right hands,” the designer wrote in a comment. It’s still solid work.

No matter what, the PS2 is still the best-selling console of all time.
