Ex-PlayStation boss can't understand why there isn't a Bloodborne remaster for PS5, but he hasn't given up hope yet

Q: Can I play the PS4 version of Bloodborne on PS5 and what performance improvements are mentioned?

Yes. You can play the PS4 version of Bloodborne on PS5, and the article says you can "get some pretty tasty performance" from the game, though it gives no specific performance details.

Q: Did Shuhei Yoshida confirm whether a Bloodborne remaster, remake, sequel, or PC port is definitely coming?

No. According to the article, Shuhei Yoshida did not confirm any Bloodborne remaster, remake, sequel, or PC port as definitely coming; he said it "remains a mystery" and that "it might come out in the future, or it might not." He spoke only as a fan and did not make a definitive prediction.

Q: Was there any evidence suggesting a Bloodborne remake from Bluepoint Games as reported in this article?

Yes. The article says there was a hint last year in the form of a job ad from Bluepoint Games that prompted speculation about a Bloodborne remake, but nothing came of it.

Q: What did the article say about the likelihood of a Bloodborne reboot targeting the PS6 instead of PS5?

The article says that, at this point, a full-on reboot for the PS6 seems more likely than a PS5 outing, but that is far from certain. Ex-PlayStation boss Shuhei Yoshida did not rule out a PS5 version, saying it "might come out in the future, or it might not," so the situation remains speculative.

There are a lot of gamers who've been hoping for a version of Bloodborne that takes advantage of the PS5's horsepower, but it doesn't seem likely to happen.

TL;DR: The former President of Worldwide Studios for Sony, Shuhei Yoshida, said he, like many fans, is puzzled about why Bloodborne still doesn't have a PS5 remaster (or PC port), calling its absence a "mystery." That said, he didn't rule out the possibility of it still happening.

Why doesn't Bloodborne have a PS5 version yet? It's a good question, and one that has an ex-PlayStation boss scratching his head.

Wccftech reports that Shuhei Yoshida, who was previously President of Worldwide Studios for Sony Interactive Entertainment (before departing in 2019), talked about Bloodborne in a keynote session at CEDEC 2026.

Yoshida said: "This title has a massive fan base all over the world. However, a PS5 version hasn't been released, right? People point out that PlayStation's first-party teams keep pumping out remasters, so why haven't they released this one? Or why hasn't a PC version come out? I get asked 'Why hasn't it been released?' all the time myself, but well... that remains a mystery."

He didn't rule out that the game might eventually get a PS5 incarnation, adding that: "It might come out in the future, or it might not. A sequel might be made, or it might not. Speaking strictly as a fan, I really hope it comes out."

It's hardly much of a prediction, though, rather just an admission of the reality: it may happen - or it may not.

Whatever the case, hope continually bubbles that maybe Sony will do a remaster for the PS5. (You can, of course, play the PS4 version on the newer console, and get some pretty tasty performance from the game).

Last year, there was a hint in the form of a job ad from Bluepoint Games (which worked on Demon's Souls) that prompted speculation about a remake of Bloodborne, but nothing came of it.
