Yes and no! The PS5 can play most PS4 games through backward compatibility, but it can't natively play PS1, PS2, or PS3 discs. For older titles, you may need to use PlayStation Now, which streams a selection of PS3, PS2, and PS4 games.

Only PS4 games are playable directly on the PS5. For PS1, PS2, and PS3 games, you'll need PlayStation Now or hope for future remasters!

No, the PS5 can't play PS1, PS2, or PS3 games natively. It can handle PS4 games though.

Speaking from experience, I love that my PS5 plays PS4 games seamlessly. For my classic PS1 and PS2 games, I use PlayStation Now. It keeps my nostalgia alive!
