Ah I see. I thought it was if they made a Neo mode then it had to be at least 1080/30. But they could still release it as a base 900/30 and it still be playable on the Neo.

Yes. All games after October must have a Neo mode and must show at least 'some' improvements over the standard PS4. Any games released prior to October are not under any mandate but can be patched if the devs want to. Of course ALL games are likely to be upscaled to 4K so even older games will look better on your 4K TV.

I still don't see how to come to the conclusion that all games after October must have a NEO mode.

All I gather from Eurogamer is that Sony wants to strongly encourage developers to include a NEO mode, by not allowing any NEO patches for games released after October. The rest of the article goes on what a NEO mode can't do.

Again further on
Sony is very keen on developers supporting both systems simultaneously, and is motivating developers to ensure that there is Neo support in all PS4 titles from Q4 onwards this year.

Still not required, nor what improvements there must be apart from 1080p and fps >= ps4 version. Motivating is not mandating.
We'll see in October what NEO mode is actually going to be in reality.
