Expert Verified By

More Improvements To Come In 2025!

Story Highlight
  • ShadPS4 has received massive upgrades in the last few months and is now running the most major PS4 exclusives.
  • It can handle a slew of titles like Drive Club, The Last Guardian, P.T., Infamous Second Son, and the like.
  • ShadPS4 is also expected to improve massively next year if the current progress milestones are any indication.

The emulation scene in the gaming industry has continued to evolve in the last decade, with many official and unofficial attempts to get console games effectively running on PC. Even GTA 5 can now be played on phones using an emulator. Regardless, out of all the woes and successes so far, ShadPS4 might just be the most significant milestone we’ve seen. 

Now, a new video highlights the progress that ShadPS4 has made in the last couple of months. It can now decently run a plethora of PlayStation 4 exclusives on PC.

Why it matters: ShadPS4 has seen such huge advancements in the last few months, which only confirms that it has a bright future ahead for the PlayStation emulation scene.

The detailed video by YouTuber BrutalSam showcases a motley of PlayStation 4 exclusives booting up just fine on PC. Most titles can run in playable conditions, including Bloodborne, Ratchet & Clank, Gran Turismo 7, P.T., Infamous Second Son, and the sort.

As you’d expect, the comment section of the video is rife with excitement and positive reception for ShadPS4, with users looking forward to seeing more exclusives becoming playable on PC.

It is worth noting that ShadPS4 could already run some of the 3D PS4 exclusives on PC as early as July of this year. The progress since then has been drastic, with most major PS4 first-party titles now running nicely.

Bloodborne New Featured
ShadPS4 can already run Bloodborne from start to end on PC without any major hurdles.

All in all, the current progress of ShadPS4 suggests that it will improve next year and achieve peak performance in all PS4 games. Fans were also concerned that the emulator could get into legal trouble with Sony if it were working on an official Bloodborne PC port. 

Do you think ShadPS4 will become so advanced next year that it can flawlessly run almost every PS4 exclusive on PC? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, or join the discussion on the official Tech4Gamers forum.
