PS5 Emulator Can Now Boot Up GTA V's Menus & Some 3D Games
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- The PS5 emulator KytyPS5 has made significant progress, now able to boot and reach the menus of the PS5 version of Grand Theft Auto V, though it cannot yet run the game itself.
- KytyPS5 can also boot PS5 versions of Quake 2, Pac-Man World, and Powerwash Simulator, indicating ongoing development toward playing full 3D retail PS5 games.
- The emulator team is currently focused on improving game compatibility and boot-up stability, with plans to address visual errors and frame rate performance in future updates.
- While KytyPS5's advancements are notable, it remains unlikely to be practical for playing backups or homebrew games soon, given the slow progress seen in PS4 emulation after many years.
- The development of KytyPS5 is partly driven by the absence of a PC port for GTA 6 and concerns over Sony's move away from physical media, sparking a competitive environment among PS5 emulator projects.
