We have spent many years witnessing various projects trying to create a fully functional PS4 emulator that has a good level of optimization and is affordable in terms of hardware, configuration and usage, but until now None of these projects came to fruition.

Emulating a console is never easy, although it is true that this one It can be more or less complicated depending on certain issues, such as the architecture and hardware you use, how powerful it is, and also the underlying operating system used to run your games. On the other hand, the experience and skills of those who build on these projects are also decisive.

The team behind RPCS3, the best PS3 emulator on PC, has confirmed that it already is He started to work on PS4 emulator for PCand said that it is currently at a very early stage. This means that what they have in hand is not yet capable of running games on said console and that it will take some time before it starts showing its best face.

At the time of writing, the most advanced PS4 emulator is Spine. Five months ago could range around 125 sets, but it was limited to titles very simple and in some cases it only showed the home screen. These types of games are much easier to emulate, but they’re clearly not what you’d expect from a PS4 emulator.

When we see the results they have achieved with the RPCS3, the truth is that it is easy to see why this news has generated so much anticipation because this team might be able to make a “real” PS4 emulator, that is, a model that can run the most important games of said console on PC, including gems like Bloodborne or Ghost of Tsushima, two titles that never seem to be officially compatible.

As with RPCS3, this new emulator for the previous generation Sony console should offer us the option move games to 60 FPS and increase native resolution, if our device has the necessary performance. Can you imagine Bloodborne moving in 4K and 60 frames per second? Yes that would be a dream come true, I recently wanted to enjoy it again by casting the chalice dungeon and I couldn’t finish it due to FPS stuttering and instability.
