Following the rumors of PlayStation 5 getting backward compatibility for older gen consoles, it seems like there’s more to this situation than previously thought. Many gamers recently discovered an unusual glitch in their PS4 consoles’ section for trophies. The exception among their listed titles were some PS3 games, being featured along with them.
Well, that’s quite surprising to witness. Yes, there have been speculations previously regarding classic PlayStation 3 titles to become playable on present gen consoles. But Sony has been silent on the entire matter so far.
But again, fans can’t stop assuming the same. Especially after seeing a fresh technical error on their PS4.

I thought it was just me after completing ’Concrete Genie’. 1st I encountered a game bug, while playing on my PS5, which led me to play that level on my PS4, but the platinum trophy wouldn’t appear. I went to sync my trophies and got the same PS3 trophies list. PS3 games coming?
