The game experience itself does not change regardless of which model of PS5 you play, but it seems that the method of accessing the game will be different. For PS5 Digital Edition, you can play the download version of compatible PS4 titles. In other words, you can play download titles purchased from the PlayStation Store or purchased in the future through PS4, PS5, web browsers, and PlayStation App. Not surprisingly, the PS5 Digital Edition is a model without a disc drive, so you can't play the disc version of the PS4 title. For models with a disc drive, both the download version title and the disc version title compatible with PS5 can be played.

To play PS VR titles on PS5, you need a PS VR headset, a wireless controller (DUALSHOCK 4) or PlayStation Move motion controller, and a PlayStation Camera for PS4. There is a dedicated HD camera on the PS5, but it seems that it can not be used when playing PS VR.
The fifth frequently asked question is ' Can PS4 titles on PlayStation Now and PlayStation Plus be played on PS5? ' And the answer is 'Compatible PS4 titles can also be played on PS5.'
The sixth frequently asked question is ' Can PS4 games be streamed on PS5 ? ' And the answer is 'Remote play of PS4 titles is possible on PS5, and PS Now streaming is also supported. I am.

The seventh frequently asked question is, ' Can PS4 games be migrated to PS5? And how will save data be handled between PS4 and PS5? '
The download version of PS4 title, game data, and game save data can be transferred to PS5 by using a LAN cable or Wi-Fi connection. If you have a PS4 title and game data stored on an external USB storage connected to your PS4, you can also use that external storage to migrate to your PS5. If you are a PS Plus subscriber, you can also transfer the save data of PS4 titles to PS5 through cloud storage.
In the case of titles for which the PS5 version has been released, it seems that it is up to the publisher of the title to determine whether the save data can be transferred from the PS4 version game to the PS5 version game. In other words, whether or not migration is possible depends on the title.
In 'Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales', which will be released on both PS4 and PS5 versions, save data will be migrated when the player tries to upgrade from PS4 version to PS5 version. Similarly, 'Ribits! Big Adventure' will be able to transfer save data from the PS4 version to the PS5 version with an update that will be delivered shortly after its release.
