A new tweet from PlayStation has ignited speculation that PS1, PS2, and PS3 backward compatibility is finally happening, presumably via the PS5, but possibly the PS4 as well. The tweet comes from the official PlayStation Japan Twitter account, and it’s a somewhat cryptic tweet. And the tweet comes amidst speculation that PS1, PS2, and PS3 backward compatibility is finally coming, and possibly imminent. Most of this speculation is the result of a recent PlayStation patent, however, some of it has also been generated by reports that PlayStation Spartacus – a rumored PlayStation subscription service that will combine PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus – will come with full PlayStation legacy backward compatibility.
