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 ?
 
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.
 
Would love to know is this possible, PS4 retail disc to PS5 (Yes) minimum firmware.

PS4 game update to PS5 unsure how without PSN. You can get the patch, however how do you upgrade your installation?
 
just get an external hard drive and format it as system drive on your jb ps4. then install the disc game on your external hard drive and then install the game update.

then connect your hdd to your ps5, move the game to your local hard drive and the ps5 patch should automatically pop up for installation.

an internet connection is needed for this method but I never had to log into psn, neither on ps4 nor on ps5. been playing ghost of tsushima v2.10 with 60fps for a couple of weeks now.
 
Yes thanks for this I did manage to get it last night. How I did it same I think on Jailbroken PS4, install disc game and the update. Insert usb drive and format as extended storage, transfer game to usb drive it should copy the update also on PS4 settings.

Eject drive & insert into PS5 rear port, it should install you can then transfer to internal storage. You still need the disc to play & I dont think the DLCs move. Its a protracted activity but it works.
 
Hello,

I have a PS5 on FW 4.03 and want to stay there. I also have Red Dead Redemption II on a PS4 disc. I can install and play the game. However, if I enable network without automatic update, I can manually look for a game update and get 1.31 downloaded. However, it wants me to update my firmware (but does not say what the minimum version is).

Is there any way with ftp / hex-editor to modify the update to get it installed? I haven't heard of any spoof payload... It it is possible, a tutorial would be great!

Regards,

Mario
