The PlayStation 5's backward compatibility doesn't seem to encompass all of Ubisoft's younger titles.
Especially “Assassin's Creed” is therefore hard hit.
Originally it was said that all of Ubisoft's PS4 titles would be playable on the soon-to-be-available PlayStation 5.
Now a list from Ubisoft appeared, according to which "Assassin's Creed: Syndicate" is not playable on the PS5.
A short time later the list was deleted again - there is still no clarity.
The long-awaited release of the PlayStation 5 is just around the corner.
Many fans cannot wait
to hold
the new
high-tech console
from Sony in their hands - although this could be delayed well beyond November due to delivery bottlenecks and excessive pre-orders *.
An exciting feature of the new PlayStation is the backward compatibility *, thanks to which the
majority of PS4 games can also run on the PS5
.
Sony announced months ago that this would be possible and that only a few PS4 titles would not be PS5 compatible.
This should sweeten the transition to the new generation for gamers, since many popular and high-class games do not yet have to move to the back of the closet.
This also applied to the many Ubisoft games - until the studio recently published a mysterious list.

"Assassin's Creed Syndicate" not on the PlayStation 5?
When Ubisoft provided information about Ubisoft Connect in a message, the studio also uploaded a list of several popular PS4 titles from its own home.
The shock for fans:
The games mentioned on this list are not playable on the PlayStation 5
.
One name in particular caused grief among gamers: "Assassin's Creed: Syndicate".
So the assassin's foray into 19th century London won't work on the PS5?
Not just "Assassin's Creed": These games were on Ubisoft's list
"Assassin's Creed Syndicate"
"Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India"
"Assassin's Creed Chronicles: China"
"Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Russia"
"Assassin's Creed Chronicles: Trilogy Pack"
"Werewolves Within"
"Space Junkies"
"Star Trek: Bridge Crew"
"Risk"
In addition to the popular London adventure of the assassin saga, the series' popular "smaller" trips to
India
,
China
and
Russia
also fail
on the PS5.
But the virtual reality title "Star Trek: Bridge Crew" also seems to be affected.
But what now causes confusion:
Ubisoft deleted the list after a short time
.
What does that mean?

List deleted - Ubisoft takes a stand
Compared to Kotaku commented the French development studio and justified this with the fact that there may be
inaccuracies give respect to the games
,
which are playable on the PS5
.
Unfortunately, that doesn't explain whether this list was incorrect and whether the games can be played on the new PlayStation or whether other titles are missing.
However, it can be assumed that Ubisoft will clarify these open questions soon.
By the way:
The new generation of Xbox consoles is not affected
, here the backward compatibility works as announced and without exception.
