Technically it was never released on PS5. It was released on PS4 and later received an upgrade patch for the PS4 Pro.
But yeah it works with backwards compatibility on the PS5. I would expect the PS4 Pro patch to work but I haven’t tried it myself.

I’m confused, isn’t this already available on PC and PS5? Why does it need to be remastered? I thought remastering a game meant making it work on a new platform.

That’s a “port”.
A “remaster” is traditionally more focused on a rerelease with improved graphic fidelity, details, resolution, possibly lower-effort improvements to models and geometry, but basically the same game, slightly modernised with better modern compatibility.
A “remake” would be a complete overhaul of the modelling, QoL improvements, or reimagining some systems potentially including game engine. Eg, the FF7 remake.

That is the logical way to call them.
Of course, the industry has been calling ports remasters for a while because it sounds like they did more work that way.
