does anybody with a lower fw ps5 such as 2.00 check whether recent ps4 titles such as re8 is playable via ps4 disc or it need updating ?

i saw a few months back.. some people posted here that they will be keeping their ps5's offline on 2.00 or 2.20 something & that ps4 discs were playable on their consoles.

what i still wanna know is whether they are still holding onto that firmware & whether recent title such as ps4 re8 was still playable ?
 
ok lets assume we get a jailbreak to enable ps5 debug etc , are our current ps4 fpkg games going to run on the ps5, its a scenario a lot require answer to. Probably unknown just putting it out there
 
A few answers if my understanding is correct?

PS5 Disc Games may work if up to 4.20 without upgrading firmware dependent on initial firmware requirements, unsure but I think if you own the disc upgrading is optional. however If you use PSN you require the most recent firmware to upgrade the game if desired or play online

Some recent PS4 games work on PS5 if your console is below 4.20 unsure what works & what dosen't I have seen posts Horizon Forbidden West PS4 version works on PS5 thats my understanding maybe someone with more knowledge could enlighten us

These are retail disc scenarios

You cant upgrade anything from disc unless you are on Playstations latest firmware. That's my understanding. Unless its fpkg files and currently it not possible to run these without a full jailbreak on PS5

So your PS4 can run games & updates up to 9.00 if its jailbroken fpkgs only. Your PS5 can run retail discs if it has the correct firmware but no updates

Suggestion: Maybe a good topic for a header thread. What PS4 & PS5 retail games will run on the PS5 & what firmware is required without System firmware upgrades.
