[@chrismorrison5301]

Bloodbourne was a lot harder because it uses an old engine as most FromSoftware games do (they just aren’t very good devs when you look at the whole picture). The game speed was tied to frame rate so if you ran the game at 60fps originally the game would double in speed, so the guy who made the patch actually had to put a lot of work into it to get it working. But with almost every other PS4 game its as easy as modying 2 lines of hex code.

You mean the save game transfer or something else? Because I HIGHLY doubt that they'd patch the specific "exploit" with a manipulated PS4 save for the PS5. It's a very specific situation and they don't really have a financial reason to patch it, as long as it can't be used to Jailbreak the PS5.

PS4 compatibility is default because that PS5 is technically the same AMD GCN technology as the PS4/Pro just smaller, faster and more efficient (RDNA 2).
