There was a rollercoaster game unfolding on social media and enthusiast forums today, after Ubisoft included an important comment in Blog post Which indicates that many Assassin’s Creed and PlayStation VR titles will not be playable on PlayStation 5 via Backward compatibility. A spokesperson for the French company said: “Most of our back-to-back gaming catalog will have a backward compatibility between the next and current generation of consoles, with a few exceptions.”
These games allegedly include: Assassin’s Creed Syndicate, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles Trilogy Pack, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: India, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China, Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: Russia, Risk, Star Trek: Bridge Crew, Werewolves Inside and Space. Junkies. It’s a whole lot of titles, especially when you consider Sony said so recently Only 10 PS4 games will not run on PS5.
We have contacted both Sony and Ubisoft representatives to comment on this matter, but have not received a response from either company. However, a spokesperson for the company made the latter Jimatsu With the following comment: “We have withdrawn the Ubisoft Connect article and forum post regarding backward compatibility for the time being as there may be errors related to Ubisoft addresses that will be playable on PS5.
On the PlayStation Store, Versions like Assassin’s Creed Syndicate include a disclaimer that states that “the game may display bugs or unexpected behavior and some features available on the PS4 may be absent.” However, it is not mentioned that it is not playable. Perhaps Ubisoft is simply not satisfied with the performance of the aforementioned titles in backward compatibility – or maybe that’s just a big confusion. We will update if we learn more.
