A newly published patent has sparked rumours about future Sony consoles and backwards compatibility.
As reported by Gearnuke, the patent (via ResetEra) – entitled “remastering by emulation” – was published on 2nd October 2018 by Sony Interactive Entertainment America.
However, if you look at the “filed date” a few lines down, you’ll see the application was initially made on 22nd November 2016.
