Demon’s Souls, one of the most impressive PS5 showcases, may be coming to PS4.
Bluepoint’s Demon’s Souls remake, which was the biggest and most technically impressive launch game for the PlayStation 5, may show up on PS4.
That’s according to PlayStation Game Size, a Twitter account dedicated to cataloguing game updates and file sizes. PlayStation Game Size spotted an entry for Demon’s Souls on the PS4 store database.
Though there’s no direct link for it, the account said it could just be a test version, and may not end up being released. Nevertheless, the idea that Demon’s Souls could end up coming to PS4 is certainly interesting.

Even if it may be hard to imagine such a technical tour de force for PS5 working on PS4, it’s important to remember that this won’t be the first time a PS5 game made its way to PS4. Sony, of course, started this trend by initially announcing Horizon Forbidden West and Spider-Man: Miles Morales as PS5 exclusives, before later confirming that both games are also coming to PS4.
Indeed, other announced games we’ve yet to even see, such as the next God of War and Gran Turismo 7, are also coming to PS4. Even on the third-party end, action game Godfall, which was similarly pitched as a lavish only-possible-on-PS5 project, was just announced for PS4.
If I were to speculate, I’d say dropping the framerate to 30fps and the visual quality significantly could get Demon’s Souls to run on PS4. Of course, you shouldn’t get your hopes up until more concrete information emerges.
