Developer CursedIfElse's SharpEmu emulator now runs 10 tested PS5 games in a playable state, with six hitting 60fps, including Astro Bot and the Demon's Souls remaster. Separately, KytyPS5, a new offshoot of the PS4 emulator Kyty, launched its first public build last week and already lists 134 titles with controllable gameplay, though many still have game-breaking bugs. A third project, AnyPS5, takes a different approach by relinking original PS5 executable code to run natively on PC rather than fully emulating the console.

An experimental PlayStation 5 emulator called KytyPS5 has progressed from merely booting Marvel's Wolverine to actually rendering its cinematics and gameplay, according to a social media post cited by VideoCardz. The game still runs at only single-digit frame rates, far from playable performance, and there is no official PC version of the Insomniac Games title.

Two independent PlayStation 5 emulation projects, SharpEmu and KytyPS5, have gone from no public releases to running games like the Demon's Souls remake and Astro Bot at playable framerates within months. KytyPS5 has reportedly hit 40-50fps on high-end PC hardware, while other titles such as Wolverine can only reach a menu screen at around 2fps. Both projects publish frequent GitHub updates and have policies restricting use of AI-generated code.

YouTube modder Devran Cosmo Uenal demonstrated an experimental Xbox port of KytyPS5, an open-source PlayStation 5 emulator, playing titles like Quake 2, Gex Trilogy, Hellboy Web of Wyrd and Marvel Cosmic Invasion on a Series X. He also showed the PS5 interface running with an option to launch the PS5 version of Grand Theft Auto 5, though he says compatibility remains limited.

A newly surfaced video shows the private PS5 emulator KyTyPS5 running Demon's Souls Remake at 40-50 FPS with graphics that appear largely accurate, tested on an RTX 5090 and Core i9-14900K system. Just weeks earlier the same emulator managed only 1-2 FPS in gameplay, and struggled to hit 30 FPS a fortnight ago.

Developers using the KytyPS5 emulator have gotten the PS5 version of Grand Theft Auto V to run on PC at 40 to 60 frames per second, though the game crashes shortly after the opening mission when police appear. The demo ran on a high-end PC with a Ryzen 7 9950X3D CPU and RX 7900 XT GPU, marking a major leap from just weeks earlier when the game wouldn't even pass its splash screen.
