That is the main reason why I love steam and am so against all digital on consoles, until they can make it like steam where your collection is tied to your account and not a system each gen. Backwards compatibility was a non issue on consoles because they were plug and play and become retro consoles. From PS360 onwards, they become closer to PC, in terms of needing installs, patches and content updates. This effectively made them useless as retro consoles as the online services shutdown for those systems it meant you could not get patches anymore. So now we are stuck in this loop of research before you buy a console game to ensure it ain't totally broken without patches, or do you go PC, or do you scream I want backwards compatibility lol. |
Technically only PS5 doesn't support full backwards compability. Series X does and my guess is that MS will continue that route as long as they make consoles since they want to make Xbox PC like.
