The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 weren’t\u00a0region-locked,<\/a> giving gamers a chance to play their favorite games no matter where the studio is located. Sony is carrying on that philosophy with the PlayStation 5, as confirmed by a recent update to the PS5 FAQ list.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sony confirms that PS5 games will not be region-locked, meaning that any PS5 game can be played regardless of the region the player is in. For the Japanese games that don’t quite make it to the west, this is a great way to expand those gaming adventures without worrying about any sort of location-based block in place.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Sony has abandoned this practice a few generations ago, region-locking is still very much a factor with other platforms, most notably the Nintendo line leading up to the Switch. The Xbox Series X also won’t be locked, which means the next generation\u00a0should\u00a0<\/em>be free from all locale-exclusive titles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For PlayStation 4 players, while the games themselves weren’t region-locked, the DLC components of many titles were. DLC has been tied to the location of the PlayStation store, including story expansions and multiplayer add-ons. It’s good to see the borders fall away as each generation goes forward, especially with the massive boom seen in the development scene witnessed worldwide.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Other topics included in the FAQ are aspects that have been previously revealed such as digital game collections being available on the PS5, more on the DualSense controller,<\/a> and external storage support<\/a>. You can review the entire FAQ list right here<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
