Ubisoft Connect: Not all Ubisoft PS4 games will work on PS5 (update 3: Ubisoft pulled the article stating this information contains inaccuraties)

No, there are other that simply state they work on PS5 not mentioning anything about errors.
Not really if the game is more broken but is barely playable. I don't think you can count that as playable thats on Sony and their definition of "playable"
I should have added a /s.
Who the hell would ever want to revisit any of those games on next gen consoles?
That would be an awful conclusion if publishers could remove games from BC.
Lance McDonald deleted his tweet regarding Sekiro because it was false/incorrect (his words from his twitch channel).
Syndicate was never a problem game. Unity was the game with all the issues.
Ubisoft has never had crystal clear messaging but suddenly--with this--it's believable?
And Sony, as the manufacturer of the console, likely knows way more about that.
These types of posts just show that some are unwilling to look at an issue before making some brazen announcement. Sony said ten games don't work. These games aren't on the list. The most likely confusion is on Ubisoft's end unless you think Sony outright lied. Which would be real stupid of them considering.
So PS5 BC is like how PC is compatible with older software but you can't use user fixes to fix some compatibility issues if they arise?
Have you played it? How do you know what's playable and not? What's broken or not? Sony says it is playable, but with errors. Do you know what those errors are?
It was just arguably more boring than even AC3. It killed the series for me, even with tech issues Unity was way more enjoyable.
No because one of the VR game on the list the developper got a email from Sony to say the game didn't launch.... so....
I really wish we could have a live feed once a week where the devs and the hardware maker answer questions. This shit is so confusing. Some saves won't work, now some PS4 games won't work, PS4 games need patches. It all sounds like Sony's solution to BC differs from Microsoft's.
The same "proof" Sony has provided. All we have are words from companies.
What's with the conspiracy theory attitude? What do they have to gain in saying games don't work on a platform that they sell millions of titles on per year?
The one thing that's readily apparent on this forum is that Occam's razor gets left by the wayside when console wars are at issue.
I just checked the PS Store. Syndicate isn't the only game that shows that Error message.

Did the title change? Because it doesn't seem misleading at all to me
Only the Chronicles games were on the Vita. The others were VR titles and Syndicate, the mainline title before Origins
If they have a different threshold then they need to align theirs with Sony's, because they're outright saying those games will not be backwards compatible. That's a very different thing to them having glitches. If something like Syndicate is playable on PS5 then whatever threshold Ubisoft are using is fundamentally flawed. If it isn't playable then Sony need to explain what's going wrong on their side, and what other games from other publishers are similarly not working.
The same can be said about accusing Sony of lying, no?
We also have an independent party verifying that. Did you not see the tweet posted 16 times in this thread?
Not if the games are a poor representation of what was intended. The games might have run like absolute garbage as far as we know. Ubisoft's name is attached to the software.
That's definitely the most sensible conclusion, but at the same time, why does Ubisoft have all those games still listed as not playable? Maybe Sony and Ubisoft have differing opinions of playable, as Sony did say Syndicate may be glitchy and exhibit unusual behavior.
Either way, this whole thing is a mess, and it'd be better if Sony broke down its backwards compatibility into tiers as in a works perfectly tier, works well but may contain weird behavior, works with boost mode and then a not compatible tier. But they didn't
I think PS5 can run all games, but yeah some will have issues, at least from what we have heard so far. Man, when the embargo for BC ends?
Sucks about Star Trek Bridge Crew. I've been playing that on PS4 Pro. Guess I'll finish it up on Pro before the adapter comes anyway.
Changed, before was talking about PS4 Games, not Ubisoft games.
Why would it not be? Ubisoft is clearly saying 'this shit broken'
Sony is testing hundreds of games, they're more likely to make mistakes about it than the publisher who tests only theirs.
I'm sure they've played all of the games. Like common now ...
Sony website API about back-compat
There is definitely something to these claims. As I mentioned in the PT compatibility thread, the new https://library.playstation.com web site has an API which can query the BC compatibility of PS4 games.
If you put in some of these games they return a state of bootable rather than compatible:
Star Trek Bridge Crew
Assassins Creed Syndicate
For comparison, Division 2 reports as compatible:

You realize Sony is literally selling one of these games saying it can indeed run on the PS5, correct?
Syndicate had some botched Pro support early on (Unity never had any Pro support) but I do believe they fixed that all up. No idea what is causing the compatibility issues.
Gonna be fun to see the tests from DigitalFoundry, NXGamer and many others I'm sure.
No AC: Syndicate is bizarre. If Unity works, I wonder what's holding Syndicate back. Shame too as it's a genuinely great game.From
list of the games:
- Assassin's Creed Syndicate
- Assassin's Creed Chronicles Trilogy Pack
- Assassin's Creed Chronicles India
- Assassin's Creed Chronicles China
- Assassin's Creed Chronicles Russia
- Risk
- Star Trek Bridge Crew
- Werewolves Within
- Space Junkies
Am I reading it wrong? Sorry if already posted
Bridge Crew and Werewolves Within are a shame but they're (mostly) online dependent games that have almost completely died by this point so it's not likely that they'd be playable for that reason regardless.
As does Sony on the same store page where they sell the game saying it'll work on PS5.
Considering the concern and FUD that runs rampant with this and Sony, I find that to be a tall ask.

Someone did that and confirmed the list of 10--it's the tweet that's been floating around.
could the PSVR ones be because you can't use PSVR without an adapter and they're just covering themselves? Bridge Crew is a pretty popular title so thats a big miss if they don't patch it.
Also calls into question the clear statement Sony put out and makes you inevitably wonder what else might pop up from other publishers

Could you check Kingdom Hearts games for me pls?
A statement from Ubisoft today about their own games shouldn't be brushed aside.
I'm sure Sony would've put it on the incompatible list if it ran like garbage and had tonnes of unplayable issues. Regardless, Sony and Ubisoft's messaging is conflicting, we'll just have to wait until either clarifies further.
