PlayStation 5 plays PS4 games, Blu-rays, and DVDs; audio CDs not supported

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

The PlayStation 5 is capable of playing a variety of disc formats, including PS5 and PS4 game discs, Ultra HD Blu-ray, standard Blu-ray, and DVDs. While the console does not support PS1, PS2, or PS3 game discs, many older titles are available digitally. The PS5 also cannot play audio CDs or 3D Blu-rays, but users can stream music via apps like Spotify and Apple Music or play media files from a USB drive. Sony plans to discontinue physical game releases by 2028, but existing discs will remain compatible with current and potentially future consoles like the PlayStation 6. AI
