RPCS3 Adds Ryzen 9000 CPU Support Ahead of Launch

Expert Verified By

RPCS3 Is Ready For Zen 5 Launch!

Story Highlight
  • The RPCS3 emulator has been updated to version v0.0.32-16742 to provide compatibility with future AMD Zen 5 processors.
  • The update fixes instability issues seen with newer Ryzen 9000 CPUs.
  • Proper optimizations and tweaks are necessary for smooth gameplay, and users should expect similar stability with Zen 5 CPUs as with Zen 4.

To better work with the future AMD Zen 5 CPUs, RPCS3, the popular PlayStation 3 emulator, has been modified. The most recent version of RPCS3 is now available for use on systems with the upcoming AMD Zen 5 processors.

Why it matters: The Ryzen 9000 processors will arrive later this month, so millions of users will be upgrading their PC builds.

The RPCS3 team revealed in a recent post on X that the emulator will finally support Zen 5-based chips for hassle-free gameplay as of version v0.0.32-16742.

Updates are necessary since the emulator experiences instability on newer hardware, especially for some users who have already obtained the Ryzen 9000 SKUs. The RPCS3 version v0.0.32-16742 or higher can now play PS3 games without problems.

Because of its strong reliance on the CPU, RPCS3 requires effective optimizations. As a result, even with a high-end GPU powering your system, your CPU must be able to run the emulator smoothly.

RPCS3 can boot and play many games without experiencing any stability problems in its current state.

Meanwhile, many titles still have performance problems or fail the boot state. The likes of God of War 3 recently became playable, and the team is constantly making improvements to the emulator.

Overall, users should expect the same level of stability when running games on AMD Zen 5 CPUs as Zen 4-based computers.
