As fully expected, PT can't be downloaded onto PS5. System transfer compatibility unconfirmed. [UPDATE: THERE IS HOPE. SEE THREADMARKS.]

Thanks for the replies. I had no idea Kojima was attached to it. I've been playing Death Stranding and that's super out there so seeing him connected with a horror game must be something else. Now I can totally see why everyone would like to hold onto this demo for as long as possible.
Unless Sony outright blocks it from running on the system I'm sure someone will eventually come up with a new method of re-downloading it or transferring it.

I really wish everyone would just move on from P.T.
It's never gonna be more than a demo that should've released. Keeping it around is just torturing yourselves. And even if the fans get what they want and it becomes a real game, it'll never live up to expectations and never have Kojima involved.
Just rip the band aid off. It'll be easier.

The demo itself is one of the better horror experiences of the last decade. Why does everyone keep saying "move on from P.T." like the people who are interested in it are sitting around waiting for Silent Hills.
Why are people saying to "move on"? This isn't about moving on, because most people who want the demo to transfer over already knows the game is never coming back. They just want it to be playable on PS5. It's not that hard to understand.
Hopefully a method is found for the PS5, it would be a shame if this is stuck on PS4 systems. I still have a fan made UE4 PT version I've yet to try that works with VR for added scariness. I still have yet to even "complete" the PT demo for the PS4, too scared. Trying it at higher resolutions or VR will be left for later years.
What part failed for you? My friend can't even get his PS4 to connect to internet when putting in the IP address as proxy.
So it looks like the author of SUWI has updated it recently to fix the Squid problems folks have been getting:
But the problem for me still exists where every time I try to download it gets blocked via antivirus (both Kaspersky and Windows Defender). Same problem as I reported over a year ago:

I mean, if Eurogamer can report this method I would assume it's safe, but then why is it flagged by multiple AVs as containing a Trojan?

Man hacks the camera in PT to terrifying results.
Thaks both! Also, every time I try to download Suwi it gives me a Trojan virus warning and blocks the download, from several different links. After I downloaded it Kaspersky deleted it. Is this a false positive? Or does anyone have a safe version they know of they can link to? EDIT: Never mind...

We know? cuz I downloaded it and tried it once, then deleted it but I'd like to try someday...
Yes! The guide has been passed around the thread:

Does this no longer work on PS4s? I sold mine a while ago, but have a friend who is keeping it. I may just log into his ps4, redownload it using this method, then transfer over to my ps5 if I buy one next year
hohoho, then I have a new PS5 game for when US/UK allow us to get one!
I'll try transferring from my PS4 then. By the way, do you have to transfer everything or can you kind of go through and untick some things? I imagine a 1TB PS4 transferring in full for a 600gb PS5 isn't gonna go all that well
just curious are you familiar with the situation with konami and pt? or played it/owned it?
It's an ad for a game that didn't get made. Why would they want to keep it around?
If anything, it points people to Death Stranding.
PT was my GotY 2014, and one of my favorites of the generation, here's hoping it can be continued to play for generations to come.
Obviously it can't be downloaded again, but I don't see why it wouldn't be transferable.
Eurogamer seems to think so anyway.

Well, it sounds like P.T. is safe for another PlayStation generation
This week, Sony published a support page answering some of the outstanding questions we had about the PlayStation 5 and…

That implies that Konami would actually want to make it in the first place. They still own the Silent Hill IP regardless of the fact they are doing nothing with it and considering Kojima's falling out with Konami, I'd doubt there would be any case for Konami to willingly outsource the project to Kojima Productions over Death Stranding for that reason alone.
Because it holds up as it's own thing, and as its own thing its arguably one of the greatest horror games ever made.
I am becoming convinced that people who say shit like this are just trolling now.
It's a standalone game and it's really good. I don't know why it can't be celebrated in the same light as any other game.
Maybe if you speedrun it. It's decently lengthy, particularly if it's your first time playing and don't know what to do.
I don't really care if it ever gets turned into a full game. Obviously a full game with expansion of its ideas would be great, especially if Kojima and co were back on board, but as a standalone release it's very good and no reason why it shouldn't be kept around.
THERE IS HOPE
Just to put this not compatible theory to rest, the new https://library.playstation.com/ web site has an API which it is accessing to determine the backwards compatibility state of a game. You can see the requests it makes if you have the developer panel open in your browser.
Anyway if you put in one of the IDs used for P.T it returns a compatible result:
And to verify it's actually working as intended, if you put the ID of a known incompatible title like Hitman Go it returns not compatible:
So P.T is very much playable on the PS5 through BC as long as you have it on your PS4 and can transfer it.

I backed up PT and sold my PS4 Pro, but by the looks of this I might have to buy a cheap PS4 for a day to transfer PT to the PS5.

Glad to see further evidence pointing towards this. It's what I've presumed all along, because why bother going out of their way to prevent it being transferred?
