Video by Wesley Yin-Poole Deputy Editorial Director Updated on 4 Jun 2021 200 comments There can be no doubting the big news of the week: Sony's cross-gen U-turn.

This week Sony confirmed God of War: Ragnarok, which was originally announced for a PlayStation 5 release in 2021, is delayed into next year, and will now also launch on PlayStation 4. That's not all! Polyphony's hotly-anticipated Gran Turismo 7, which Sony had said was a PS5 exclusive, is also coming to PS4. As you'd expect, these announcements sparked a vociferous debate, with many picking out PlayStation boss Jim Ryan's prior "... we believe in generations" quote as evidence of Sony's hypocrisy. But perhaps the more important question is this: will these PS5 games now be held back by being cross-gen on PS4?
