If there's one thing that tends to have a lot of misinformation, it's backwards compatibility. And if there's one thing that's been confusing a lot of people, it's the free game upgrades both Sony and Microsoft are offering. So, let's knock them both out today. Here's a full explanation of how PS5 and Series X will handle backwards compatibility, complete with past insight on what the companies have previously done with older consoles. Then we decrypt the careful messaging Sony and Microsoft have been using for their game upgrades, and next-gen transitions. There's still a lot that could change, and some assumptions we have to make, but for now at least - this is everything. Bring on the next-gen goodness, I want it all. And more than likely, I'll be taking it all. (Oh yes).
