Is ps5 backwards compatibility region free?
Are PS5 discs region locked? No, they are not. Sony discouraged developers from region-locking their games. Like the PlayStation 4, PS5 consoles and games are not locked by region, meaning a game sold in the US (NTSC-U) will play on a console bought in the UK (PAL).
