One of the most exciting features of the next-gen PS5 and Xbox Series X is the backwards compatibility. A plethora of previous-generation titles will be playable on the new consoles, where a lot of them will have an enhanced visual experience. This will be possible thanks to the new consoles’ cutting-edge hardware. Now, Rockstar has explained how backwards compatibility will work for some of its biggest titles to date.

In a statement on the website, Rockstar announced that GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 will be playable on the PS5 and the Xbox Series X. Even though PlayStation 5 users will get an enhanced version of GTA 5 in 2021, they will be able to play the current version of the game on it too.

The official announcement also explained the process of playing the backwards compatible games on the next-gen consoles.

“If you own a disc-based copy of any backward compatible game, you’ll be able to insert that disc directly into your new PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X (excludes PlayStation 5 Digital Edition and Xbox Series S consoles).

“Meanwhile, digital game owners will have instant access to download any compatible Rockstar Games titles they already have tied to their PlayStation Network or Xbox Live accounts. On PlayStation 5 these will be available from the Your Collection section of your Game Library and on Xbox Series X|S from the Ready to Install section.”

This process is also the same for most backwards compatible games from other companies. In addition to this, players will also be able to transfer their progress to the next-gen consoles. They can do so with the help of a LAN cable, wireless connection, or external USB storage. Players using PlayStation Plus or Xbox Live can transfer their saves via cloud storage.
