The Sony PlayStation 5 could feature backward compatibility all the way till the original PlayStation if the latest rumors are to be believed. Apparently, the PS5 will feature a Remastering Engine and its GPU will be able to operate in three distinct modes that allow for maximum compatibility with older titles while adding modern features such as 4K rendering. From the looks of it, the PlayStation 5 could be somewhat conservative in terms of raw power compared to the Xbox Series X in order to keep the price low.
