It can be easy to tell just how much fans are looking forward to the release of the PlayStation 5 by how many rumors are flying around with regards to this topic. Among the latest developments to gain the community’s interest are a new patent and websites for the console. There is a patent that hints at the PlayStation 5 being backward compatible and websites for the console are redirecting visitors to the official PlayStation domain.
As Ars Technica reports, a recent discovery of a patent related to backward compatibility technology is making waves on the web with regards to the PlayStation 5. The details basically hint that Sony could be implementing new technology that will allow older games to be played on the next generation console. On that note, it has also been pointed out that the technology could also apply to the PS4.
This could then mean that the company is thinking of increasing the hype for the PlayStation 5 by allowing owners to finally play older games on the console. What’s more, those who still own the PS4 or PS4 Pro could also look forward to getting a taste of the feature before the new game box comes out.
Adding fuel to the fire of PlayStation 5 rumors is the fact that obscure websites pertaining to the console are now redirecting users to the official website of PlayStation. This could mean that Sony is gearing up to announce the next generation console by buying up any and all domains that could lead to information about it.
This is understandable since Sony would not want users to be confused as to where they will find reliable information about the PlayStation 5 once it is announced. By redirecting users to the official PlayStation site, the Japanese company can give players information that they want them to have.
