<em>only<\/em> be played on the PS5. It\u2019s worth remembering there still are a smattering of new releases launching on the PS4 as well.<\/p>\n<p>But the bigger issue this generation for PlayStation has been the ongoing support for live service games, like Fortnite and Roblox, which still play perfectly well on the PS4.<\/p>\n<p>Recently Sony and HoYoverse joined forces to release a promotional trailer for Genshin Impact, encouraging players to upgrade to the PS5 ahead of the gacha game\u2019s discontinuation on last-gen hardware.<\/p>\n<p>As the nature of generations change, it\u2019s going to become harder and harder for the Japanese giant to encourage players to upgrade. This issue will be even more pronounced for the PS6, whenever it eventually arrives.<\/p>\n<p>Sony may feel that simply keeping players within its ecosystem is enough, but on the evidence of the message above, it\u2019s still very eager to convert PS4 holdouts to PS5 if it can.<\/p>\n<p><!-- cache: html:pushsquare.com\/ssl\/ps5\/related-articles:192841,196639 @ 1769578864 --><\/p>\n<aside
