Unlike on the PS4 Pro, PS5 Game Boost is enabled by default. This means you don't have to do anything to enjoy your PlayStation 4 games at their very best on the PlayStation 5. However, you will need to ensure you install the latest system software update as well as any game-specific patches to get the most out of your titles, as some releases like Days Gone have been updated specifically to take advantage of the PS5 hardware.

That's it, though. Simply install and update your PS4 games, then play them on your PS5 safe in the knowledge that you're getting the best possible experience available. Awesome!
