AnyPS5: PS5 games as native PC programs. Here is what actually works.

AnyPS5 is an open-source tool that converts PS5 executables into native Windows and Linux programs. It is not an emulator, it ships no games, and its only official download is on GitHub. This independent site tracks what it can really run, explains how to use it, and helps you avoid fake downloads.

Full games list

The project's official compatibility table marks one game as playable: Dreaming Sarah. Beyond that table, community testers have posted results for 34 games. Of the 25 that reach gameplay, 21 did so only on testing branches or forks with patches that are not in the official release yet, so the build behind each result matters as much as the stage.

How AnyPS5 works in 30 seconds

  1. Relink the executable

    The relinker rewrites a PS5 game's executable, and the modules bundled with it, into a native Linux ELF or Windows PE file. With --to-intel it also rewrites AMD-only CPU instructions for Intel processors.

  2. Swap in AnyPS5's system libraries

    The converted program loads AnyPS5's own implementations of the PS5 system libraries (.prx files) through normal dynamic linking, the way any PC program loads its libraries.

  3. Translate the graphics

    The PS5's GPU shaders are recompiled into SPIR-V and run on your graphics card through Vulkan.

The PS5 uses an AMD Zen 2 processor with the same x86-64 instruction set as a desktop PC, so a game's CPU code can run directly. Nothing is emulated, but every system function and GPU feature a game touches has to be rebuilt first, which is why every game has its own status. Read the FAQ for the details.

Is AnyPS5 for you right now?

Good fit
You are comfortable with a command line, can read an error message, and want to test the project or contribute to it.
Wait for now
You want a one-click way to play your PS5 library on PC. There is no launcher or GUI, and only a few games get far.
You need
An x86-64 Windows or Linux PC, a Vulkan 1.1 graphics card, the official relinker and system libraries from the same release, and files of a game you are entitled to use.

Quick answers

Is AnyPS5 an emulator?

No. It converts a game's executable once into a normal Windows or Linux program and provides its own system libraries. There is no emulator process running underneath the game.

Does AnyPS5 come with games?

No. The project ships no games, firmware or keys, and neither does this site. You need the files of a game you are entitled to use.

Where is the official download?

Only on GitHub: github.com/boykopovar/AnyPS5/releases. Our download guide lists the exact files and their SHA-256 hashes.
