WILL THE PS5 BE BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE PS4
Sony initially, of course, said that it had tested the top 100 PS4 games on PS5, which lead many to believe it won't offer native support as Xbox Series X does with Xbox One, but the platform holder later clarified that the majority of PS4 games will work just fine on PS5. Because we know you love PS4 classical games and dont wanna lose them too. Of course, if you're moving from a disc-based PS4 to a digital-only PS5 you won't be able to bring forward your physical games. Consequently, looking for backwards compatibility would be a wise decision. PS5 is able to natively play PS4 games, but that's about the extent of its backwards compatibility support.
So, unfortunately, compatibility with them has not been achieved." "While achieving that, we focused on incorporating high-speed SSDs and the new controller DualSense in parallel. "Among them, PS4 already has 100 million players, so I thought that I would like to play PS4 titles on PS5 as well, so I introduced PS4 compatibility. "We have been building devices with a focus on PS5-specific engineering," said Ryan in the Google-translated interview.

WILL THE PS5 BE BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE PS3
The PlayStation 5 will not natively support PS1, PS2 or PS3 games, Sony has revealed. However, the expansion will have to meet the standards of Sony which is at least 5.5GB/s.Sony has confirmed what many suspected about the PS5's backwards compatibility with older consoles. Sony has been tipped to use the NVMe SSD standard which hints that they could be expandable in the future. However, the games from the disks will still need storage and installation space on the SSD. The PS5 will get a 4K Blu-ray drive and will support disks as well. The PS5 will also get support for USB hard drives but will be slower and will be utilised for backwards-compatible PS4 games. The tech giant will know that fans are keen for backwards compatibility so they can play their old games on.
The PS5 SSD is slated to get a bandwidth of 5GB per second while it will have a load time of 2GB in 0.27 seconds. The Japanese company revealed late last year that the PS5 would be launching in 2020. The CPU and GPU will support variable frequencies and the console has been tipped to carry 16GB of GDDR6 RAM and a custom 825GB SSD storage. The hardware goes up to 10.28 teraflops and has 36 compute units which have been clocked at 2.23GHz. This is just hopeful imagination, but is there a chance that the PS5 will receive a revision to include further backward compatibility There can be an argument made that Sony abandoned it on the PS3 due seeing how poorly the PS3 did compared to the 360. The Sony PlayStation 5 will feature custom eight-core AMD Zen 2 CPU which is clocked at 3.5GHz and paired to it will be a custom GPU which is based on AMD’s rDNA 2 architecture hardware. They want people to feel more inclined to play in short bursts rather than only wanting to turn on the console when they have a few hours to spare."

This is more or less what Sony pitched to the developers - according to a Resetera post which was made by Kotaku's Jason Schreier. Sony has also said to be working on making the interface of the PS5 accessible which will make it as easy as streaming movies on OTT platforms. This spec feature could also be available on the Sony PS5. Microsoft has also hyped up its Xbox series X with its Quick Resume feature.
The hype surrounding the launch of the Sony PlayStation 5 has been growing and now the Japanese company has released the specs of the gaming console. The hardware goes up to 10.28 teraflops and has 36 compute units which have been clocked at 2.23GHz.
