Sony has started tweaking hardware issues in the PlayStation 5 in the last few months. The current looming issue at hand makes it impossible for PS4 and PS3 games to run in PS5. This means that the consoles’ clock battery (CMOS) dies and blocks players from connecting to Sony servers.

While this has been affecting digital games at this moment, Sony has now decided to fix this issue with its new firmware update.
