PlayStation boss Jim Ryan has insisted he doesn’t hate old games while responding to controversial comments he made in 2017, and explained the PS5’s lack of support for PlayStation’s entire back catalogue of games.
“The PS1 and the PS2 games, they looked ancient, like why would anybody play this?” he said at the time.
Discussing that infamous 2017 quote with Axios Gaming, Ryan said he gets “frustrated” whenever it’s brought up.
Despite this, Sony’s support for its older games on PS5 differs to the strategy employed by console rivals Microsoft and Nintendo.
