The Playstation 5 will be able to activate a "boost" mode on a selection of PS4 titles. The Game Boost will be capable of optimizing PS4 games performance.

However, this feature will not work on all games. There will be a pre-established selection, hoping that it will be released publicly by Sony.

For now, we already know that Ghost of Tsushima will have improved and more stable frame rates. Games with a dynamic resolution or framerate will be stabilized and improved for better visual fidelity.

For the moment, details are lacking regarding the integration of PS4 games into the PS5 interface, but it will be possible to use the DualSense Create button on backwards compatible titles.

The 3D audio technology that PS5 incorporates is one of Sony's selling point, and it seems that you'll be able to experience it with the headphones you already own.
