If you buy the more expensive PlayStation 5 the disc drive or the digital version of the game, you’ll be fine. In other words, don’t buy a physical copy of the game and then the Playstation 5 Digital Edition with no disc drive because you won’t be able to make use of the forwards compatibility. Just make sure you have a PlayStation 5 console model capable of doing so. So if you buy the game on PS4, you’ll be able to play it on PlayStation 5. Just don’t expect all the next-gen enhancements. Thanks to forward compatibility technology, you’ll be able to play NHL 21 on PS5 and Xbox Series X. However, you’ll still be able to play the game on your next-gen console.
