      Unless they change CPU architectures.

      And even then it’s no guarantee. Plenty of games needed support from the likes of GoG to run. Hell, I couldn’t even play Ex Machina because I had a HDR monitor and the game detected that and completely broke. Disabling HDR in Windows did nothing.

        well. there’s already winlator (basically box86 / wine-wrapper for android).
        Not as polished and far as Proton is, but the bones are there.

        A CPU architecture change wouldn’t be a deathblow.

      You can play DOS games just fine right now, so yes it’s a good bet. And a far better bet than the PS6 being backwards compatible.
