Before the download
Check the essentials.
Use this checklist with the full requirements guide. It records your answers in this page only and does not scan your computer or upload files.
Passing these checks establishes the documented prerequisites. GPU issues and progress blockers can still occur.
Clear up the confusion
What “PC port” means here.
The community runtime executes the PS4 game's x86-64 code and uses graphics technology derived from shadPS4 to translate graphics work to Vulkan. The project is separate from a Sony PC release.
Does the download include the game?
No. GitHub provides the community program. You supply a compatible dump from your own PS4 game. This site does not host or link game-file downloads.
Is the PS3 version the same thing?
No. This project targets the PS4 Remastered game. RPCS3 guides and PS3 saves refer to the earlier PS3 release and do not carry over directly.
Will it run at 120 FPS on my PC?
The launcher offers higher engine frame rates, but performance depends on your hardware and the scene. The release notes also list progress blockers at 120 or 240 FPS. Read the settings guide before choosing a target.
Is Steam Deck fully supported?
The Linux AppImage is experimental. The release notes list Steam Deck startup issues, and a launcher smoke test does not prove full gameplay compatibility. Check the current Linux notes.
