The PlayStation world is in turmoil: several players share suspicious store finds on Twitter. The price tags for several PS3 games are fueling the rumor mill for expanded PS5 backwards compatibility. And the suspected counterattack to the Xbox Game Pass is also being discussed again. But what about the new clues? Let’s take a closer look at the situation.
PS3 prices give gamers hope
Since the germination of various rumours extended PlayStation 5 backwards compatibility and Sony’s variant of an Xbox Game Pass called Spartacus, players will gratefully accept any hint in this direction. Now various users on Twitter have one suspicious discovery in the PS store their PS5 shared:
“Uhh. I don’t want to panic anyone, but PS3 games shouldn’t have a price if you’re watching them on the PS5. Unless …”
Normally, when selecting PS3 games, you will be redirected to the PS Now page, which will let you play the game using Sony’s streaming service. Since currently but PS3 games won an award that are not (or no longer) included in PS Now, many suspect the above possibilities.
Persistent PS store bug
Even if many gamers long for the classics of PS1, PS2 and PS3, the new discoveries seem to be just one well-known bug of the PS store to act, which appears again and again sporadically. By the way, not only in the PS store of the PS5, but also the PS4.
The Twitter user Ryan Biniecki makes this clear again in a post:
“Before this spreads like wildfire, a few things I want to note:
This visual bug has appeared many times over the years
(The system) pulls the price you had to pay on PS Now to rent a single game
Prince of Persia games used to be on PS Now, so no – they’re not new”
With the expected upheavals of PS Plus the appearance of the well-known bug is probably just bad timing. According to the Bloomberg report, Sony is expected to launch its Spartacus project in April 2022. Then at the latest you can count on reliable information.
Until then, don’t get your hopes up too much and just take these new clues as PS store technical error evaluate.
