Playing Your Favorite PlayStation 4 Games on the New PlayStation 5

 The PlayStation 4 has been on the market for eight years, and has amassed one of the greatest libraries of games on any console. From Sony's own first-party titles to dozens of essential third-party offerings, there is something for every type of player in this system's catalog. And with the addition of backward compatibility, backward compatibility and native porting capabilities on PS5, some of these titles have never been better.

The new PS5 also has the ability to play previous generation games on a high-resolution computer monitor, instead of your TV. This gives gamers a much more comfortable and immersive gaming experience, while allowing them to see all the detail of their games on a large screen, which can help avoid eye strain and other problems caused by playing games from too far away.

With a fast refresh rate, gamers can also benefit from a higher framerate when playing games on a monitor than on a TV. A high framerate can mean a smoother gameplay and more fluid animations, while it can also reduce motion blur and juddering which can make some players dizzy or sick when playing fast-paced games for long periods of time.

A game that is available both on the PS4 and PS5 is Nioh Collection, a collection of three action-adventure games from Japanese developer Team Ninja. This PlayStation 5 game is a perfect example of how a last-gen game can look and feel better on the new console thanks to a combination of a quality patch, backward compatibility or a full remaster.

This year, Santa Monica Studios brought a much-needed soft reboot to its cinematic God of War franchise with a more focused, cathartic take on Kratos and his Nordic-fantasy quest. This sweeping sequel ranks among the best in the series, and can be enjoyed even more on the PS5 thanks to its checkerboard 4K resolution mode that prioritizes rendering important details while still running at a locked 60 FPS.

Another next-gen PS5 game that is a great showcase for the system's performance improvements is Ghost of Tsushima. This spectacularly acclaimed title takes an Assassin's Creed-style Japan and mixes it with a library's worth of Akira Kurosawa movies to create the perfect swan song for the PlayStation 4. This PS5 game is a testament to how beautiful and expansive video games can be when they are done well, and how much a good story can elevate a console.

Whether you're an avid collector or just starting out with the PlayStation 4, this list of the best PS4 games should provide you with plenty of entertainment for a very affordable price. These games offer something for every type of gamer, and they are all sure to be a hit with your family or friends when they come over to play.
