Since the playstation 4 (ps4) isn’t backwards-compatible, users with playstation 3 (ps3) games are unable to insert ps3 discs into the ps4 console or re-download ps3 games from playstation network to play on the ps4. however, users can access and play over 100 ps3 games on the ps4 through a subscription service called playstation now.. The ps4 doesn't have the hardware or software to emulate and play ps3 games. ps now is sort of the only way to play a ps3 game on the ps4 but it uses internet streaming to feed you a video of you playing the game on their ps now servers, so unless you have amazing internet there will be some quality loss and latency with your input controls so. Can you play ps3 games on ps4: have you bought the latest ps4 console but still want to play the ps3 and ps2 games from your all time collection of games..
Because the ps4 uses a totally different architecture to the ps3, it does mean that you can’t play ps3 games on the ps4, and vice versa. read more at sony ps4 vs ps3 | trusted reviews 10k views
