Playing cross-gen games on PlayStation 5 is far from being smooth sailing, as players often ended up playing the PlayStation 4 version of the game if they did not navigate through the system menu and set the proper options. Thankfully, it seems like Sony finally addressed the issue.

　　As spotted by Tidux, a new notification system has been added without an update, informing players they are starting the PlayStation 4 version of any game, asking if they want to switch to the PlayStation 5 version as well.
