PS4 game emulation on PC is is progressing at an impressive pace. Almost a month ago I told you that Bloodborne was already playable, albeit with serious errors in the color representation, which means that it is in a very early state and that there is still a lot of work to be done.

A few weeks passed and the improvements were so great that the said game It works now without major errorsand now it will get to the character creation and customization screen. Yes, there’s still a long way to play it fully on PC thanks to emulation, but there’s no denying that development is so fast that it’s promising.

These advancements are thanks to the team behind ShadPS4, one of the most advanced PS4 emulators out there today. It can run quite a few games and is not limited to simple 2D titles, It is also able to move 3D games such as Red Dead Redemption Remastered, which was one of the latest to join the list of supported games.

Emulating console games is a very complex process This complexity is increasing when we find systems that have relatively high performance. Remember how long it took to emulate PS3 games on PC in an acceptable way. With the PS4 we encounter a much more powerful system and its games are developed with such deep optimization that emulating them on PC is quite a headache.

Fortunately, the advances we are seeing show that emulating PS4 games on PC It’s not impossibleand that we need time right now. It seems that in a few years we could have our hands on a fully functional PS4 game emulator, well polished and capable of pumping out those exclusive juices that didn’t make it to PC, and we’re dying for some of them.

In order to move the PS4 emulator You will need a very powerful computer, This is clear, but over time it will become more and more available on a hardware level due to the advancements that usually occur in the PC world. I won’t lie to you, the only PS4 game I’m really interested in seeing on PC is Bloodborne, and while I prefer a Sony remaster or even a remake, I wouldn’t mind an emulated version.
