Ghost of Yotei has become the latest PlayStation 5 exclusive to get past its menus on PC. Developer Foued (@foufouadi_) shared footage on X of Sucker Punch’s 2025 samurai game running in a modified build of SharpEmu, the experimental PS5 emulator whose playable list is mostly small indie and retro-style titles. The clip shows the start menu, a 3D environment loading in, and protagonist Atsu moving around. The results, however, are far from playable. Foued clarified that the video was sped up, and the real frame rate is reportedly around 1 to 2 FPS, with geometry and texture errors on top. Apparently, performance work will come later.
A separate screenshot shows the fight against The Snake, the game’s first boss, at 10.9 FPS on a GeForce RTX 4090 and Ryzen 7 7800X3D, with some effects still rendering incorrectly. Another attempt through AnyPS5, which relinks PS5 executables instead of emulating the console, is further behind, with the game world reportedly loading at roughly 3.4 frames per minute. Ghost of Yotei follows Marvel’s Wolverine, which booted on KytyPS5 late last month and has since reached around 20 FPS. The same emulator also ran the PS5 version of GTA 5 at up to 60 FPS. Interest in these projects picked up after Sony moved away from PC ports of its single-player games, with a planned Ghost of Yotei port reportedly among those scrapped. A playable build is still a long way off, though it’s reasonable to expect quick improvements given how fast these emulators have moved.
