The developers at Sucker Punch have confirmed that not one, but two of their games from the PlayStation 4 library have been enhanced for PS5.
We already knew that Ghost of Tsushima would receive a patch boosting the game’s framerate on Sony’s next-gen console. What we didn’t know is that smoke-belching superhero sequel, inFamous Second Son, would also get a PS5 upgrade.
Happy #PS5 day! ?#GhostOfTsushima and #InfamousSecondSon are backward compatible and support save transfers from PS4. In both, you’ll see framerates up to 60FPS & improved load times!
PS Plus members can also play #InfamousSecondSon as part of the PlayStation Plus Collection! pic.twitter.com/9WnkLfCiIr

When we reviewed inFamous Second Son at launch, here’s what we had to say:
While the narrative might not have the same impact as previous games, it’s somewhat more of a down-to-earth tale of an ordinary man with extraordinary powers, and that’s an exciting new direction for the series to take.
We recently took a look back at 10 years of inFamous, reflecting on the series and discussing a potential comeback in the future.

I really enjoyed Second Son on PS4, it looked and played awesome. I’m just surprised i’ve never gottten around to replaying it .. yet.

It’s definitely one of the console’s most underrated exclusives, simply because it was one of the earliest.
Hopefully a lot of people go back and play it now it’s in the PS5’s PS+ Collection.

I wonder if this would apply to First Light, too.
