AnyPS5: open-source tool auto-ports PS5 games to Linux and Windows without emulation

lxfater · x · 2026-10-12

Open-source project AnyPS5 aims to automatically port PS5 executables to Windows/Linux and has racked up 30.6k GitHub stars.

• How it works: no emulation and no separate runtime — a relinker converts executables to native target formats, with reimplemented PS5 system prx libraries for dynamic linking (Vulkan/SPIR-V based graphics)
• Features: executable conversion plus runtime modules, graphics handoff to the PC GPU, gamepad support with keyboard/mouse remapping
• Reality check: compatibility is very limited — only Dreaming Sarah is confirmed playable on Windows, hitting 60 FPS on GTX 1050 Ti / i5-7500
• Users must supply game files themselves; best suited for developers exploring game porting
