PlayStation 5 Backward Compatibility Won’t Run PS3 Games, Here’s Why

According to a recent news, the PlayStation 5 Backwards Compatibility won't feature in the older PlayStation 3 games. The news comes from Reddit, where a user claims to have been present during a meeting with Sony to discuss PS5 specs. During the interview, when Mark Cerny was asked about the PlayStation 5 backward compatibility, he explained that PS3 had a different cell architecture from the X86 architecture of the PS4. Due to this reason, the PlayStation 5 will be compatible with PlayStation 4 because it too features an X86 processor and not with PlayStation 3.
