Can PS5 and 4 play together?

Yes, PS4 and PS5 players can often play together, but it depends on the specific game, as developers must enable "cross-gen" multiplayer, allowing PS4 and PS5 versions of the same title to connect online; games like Fortnite, Call of Duty, and Destiny 2 support this, while some sports games might keep generations separate, but you can generally chat and play together in supported titles, with PlayStation Plus often required for online play.

How long does a PS5 last?

A PS5 is built to last around 6-7 years as a primary console generation, but with proper care (clean vents, good airflow), it can function well beyond that, potentially into the PS6 era, as Sony aims to extend its active life like the PS4, though performance upgrades like the PS5 Pro may shift the tech cycle.
