One of the biggest problems that users are experiencing with the new generation is the mix of games that exists in virtual stores. If you already had a game on PS4, the backward compatibility of PS5 will allow you to play it without problems, however, there could be another option available, since the game could be available in an improved version for PS5. But, how does the user know of its existence?
PS5 now alerts you to upgraded versions
After the launch of PS5, those users who wanted to play Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War felt somewhat disappointed when they saw the graphics that the game showed. The reason was none other than running the wrong version, as many were playing the PS4 version without knowing it.
It is a problem that stems from a poor implementation, since users are limited to quickly review their library without looking closely, much less looking for a specific version of the game. Between that, and the problems that the store itself suffered, the gaming experience was not ideal, but it seems that Sony has applied a simple change that will help avoid future confusion.
Do you want to play the PS5 version?
As confirmed and demonstrated by Twitter user Tidux, the PlayStation 5 interface will now notify you when you try to run a game on its PS4 version. In case you do so and there is a specific version of PS5, the interface will launch a message warning you that you are going to proceed to open or run the PS4 version, inviting you to switch to the correct version of PS5 to squeeze the maximum power of the console.
Thanks to this simple message, players will be able to know exactly if they are running the correct version, since opening the PS4 version would not take full advantage of the console’s capabilities as the developers would have prepared.
What are the advantages of improved versions of PS5?
The best that this type of version offers are obvious, since the games offer a greater amount of textures to offer graphics with more detail and realism. But in addition, we would take advantage of ray tracing technology, with which to enjoy reflections of different forms of light treatment in real time, in addition to enjoying extremely fast loads with which to start playing immediately.
