Backward Compatibility of Video Games on Consoles – Good or Bad? - Essentially Sports

Cross-Gen gaming is when video games released on one generation of consoles can be played on the other, and vice versa. .

Backward compatibility is how we can play older titles (from previous generations) on the latest, bleeding-edge hardware.

Lesser loading times, better framerates and textures, are all clear advantages of playing the games on newer hardware.

As stated by Jason Ronald, Director of Program Management for Xbox Series X, “It is important for gamers to preserve their gaming legacies.” But should this be done at the cost of holding back bigger, more ambitious games and developers.

This is to say that games will still be released for these older consoles, and the newer generation of consoles at the same time. .

Many users pointed out the fact that game developers have taken care to ensure that the next-gen version of their releases will not be compromised or optimized for older hardware.

Older generation titles being played on newer systems are not the problem here.

Aren’t the developers compelled to tone down these amazing features to run it on the older hardware

Aren’t we as gamers losing out on an amazing, fully realized version of The Last of Us Part II, only because older consoles would not be able to run that version of the game
