Game Boost is essentially what PlayStation is calling the visual and performance upgrades that backward compatible PS4 titles receive when PlayStation fans upgrade to the PS5. The new Game Boost logo resembles an arrow firing upwards, or as many fans have noticed, an arrow shooting up similar to the well-known “stonks” meme. The Game Boost logo boxes in the arrow akin to the NBA and MLB logos, encasing their respective professional athletes.
