Anyone who buys a Playstation 5 and is a Playstation Plus subscriber receives a whole range of PS4 games for free.
There are also strong exclusive titles such as “Uncharted 4” or “God of War”.
One argument against buying the Playstation 5 directly at launch * is that there won't be any really strong next-gen titles when the console is released.
The must-have game for the PS5 will therefore initially be "Spider-Man: Miles Morales" for most.
At least PS4 games can also be started thanks to the backwards compatibility.
For many, “Cyberpunk 2077” will probably be the game of choice that they will play on the PS5 first - but the next-gen upgrade for it will not appear until 2021.
So that new PS5 owners get even more content for the release, Sony has come up with something else.
Members of
Playstation Plus
are being offered access to various PS4 games -
all free of charge
.

PS5: Can I transfer PS4 games purchased digitally?
There are a few things to keep in mind when it comes to backward compatibility for the PS5.
In principle, it is possible to play PS4 games on the next-gen Playstation - according to Sony, this applies to
over 4
.
000 titles
.
Many of the games listed above were already times for free on PS Plus available (by the way: The new
free
-
Games for October
have been announced, via ingame.de *).
This begs the question of how digitally acquired games can be transferred to the PS5.
There is no need to worry: If you log in with your existing PSN account, you should also be able to access the PS4's digital games library.
