Ubisoft releases its own list of PS4 games that won’t work on PS5

The list of PlayStation 4 games that may not work on PlayStation 5 is growing. On its own website, Ubisoft provided a list of games that will not work with backward compatibility on the next-gen console. And none of these games are on the list that Sony has on its support page.

“Most of our previous game catalog will be backward compatible between the next generation of consoles and the current one, with a few exceptions,” reads a blog post from Ubisoft today. “On Xbox Series X / S, all of our Xbox One games will be backward compatible. On PlayStation 5, all games will be backward compatible except the following. “

Here is the list of Ubisoft games for PS4 that according to the publisher will not work on PS5:

• Assassin’s Creed: Syndicate
• Assassin’s Creed: Chronicles Trilogy Pack
• Assassin’s Creed: Chronicles India
• Assassin’s Creed: Chronicles China
• Assassin’s Creed: Chronicles Russia
• Risk
• Star Trek: Bridge Crew
• Werewolves inside
• Space addicts.

Ubisoft did not say what this incompatibility looks like. Will the games even start, or do they just have a couple of bugs that won’t affect most players? I reached out to Ubisoft and Sony for clarification. I also asked why these Ubisoft games are not on Sony’s list. I will update this story when any of the companies contact me.

The strangest highlight on Ubisoft’s list is Star Trek: Bridge Crew. It’s PSVR compatible, and it’s strange to think that you’ll have to keep a PS4 if you ever want to play with your friends. But again, maybe it’s still primarily functional. We’ll all have to see for ourselves when the PS5 launches on November 12.
