Rockstar Games’ next major title may still be years away, but the developer is looking to make sure some of its most beloved games are playable on the latest hardware. The PS5 and Xbox Series X launch next week, both touting impressive backwards compatible libraries.

All of the games listed above will be available on their respective consoles when the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 launch next week. For the latest news out of Rockstar Games, you’re already in the right place with Shacknews.
