PlayStation 5 gamers can play PS4 games at 120fps thanks to this trick

Sometimes you just want to kick back and play a game that has been out longer than five years but with the way performance optimization is improving by the day, this is sometimes impossible. However, one PlayStation 5 owner has found a way.

Gaming has come a long way in recent years with the arrival of current-gen consoles like the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S. As a result, our favourites titles are often limited on FPS and are unable to hit 120fps on the PlayStation 4.

Fortunately for those affected, one PlayStation gamer has found a way to make PlayStation 4 games available to play on the PlayStation 5 at 120fps. All it takes is a hacked console and some downloaded patches.

The modder in question, illusion0002 on Twitter has released “120hz patches for PS4 games on exploited PS5 systems” and they are now available to download for free. As a result, a bunch of PS4 titles are now supported on the PS5 including: Battlefield 4, Bloodborne, Gravity Rush Remastered, Demon Souls, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst, The Last Guardian, The Last of Us Remastered, Shadow of the Colossus, Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection, Killzone: Shadow Fall and more recently added NieR Replicant and Doom.

After being tested by the modder’s Patreon members, it seems all these games are ready to download and play on PlayStation 5.

In related news, the PlayStation 5 Pro specs were recently updated online and it reveals that the new console may be the most powerful one yet. Most noticeably, we will see changes with increased performance in areas such as ray tracing which may even be upgraded to ray pathing. Additionally, the Pro will reportedly have fast storage and upscaling.

The future is already looking bright for Sony even though it feels like we only just received the PlayStation 5.
