Can The PS4 Console Be Used To Play PS5? Here's The Answer!

YOGYAKARTA - PlayStation is one of the most popular games in recent years. Sony, as a developer company, has released various types of PlayStation, ranging from PS1, PS2, to PS5.

Each PlayStation series has a different type of console or game controller and usually only works for certain types of PlayStation. For example, if you play PS2 then the user must use the PS2 console to play it.

However, specifically for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, you can play games using the same type of console. Even so, not all PS5 games can be played using the PS4 console. In other words, the PS4 console can only be used to play certain PS games.
