PlayStation 4 Emulator for PC
An Open-Source PS4 Emulator for Windows, macOS and Android
PCSX4 is the first and the only PS4/PS5 emulator that allows you to run PS4/PS5 games on PC, Mac, Linux and Android (arm64). It uses Vulkan and DirectX 12 as its back-end API renderers and runs most of the PS4 exclusive titles on high-end systems with some bugs/glitches as it is still in beta. There will be frequent releases which you can get from the downloads section. PCSX4 is a community-driven project, and anyone can contribute.

Our goal is to make this accessible across various operating systems and ensure compatibility with an extensive hardware, all while maintaining realistic requirements.
Native PS4 Emulation
PS4 is based on the x86/64 architecture, which enables PCSX4 to run at a near native performance on Windows, macOS and Android by taking advantage of the DEngine, Vulcan API, and hardware-assisted virtualization engine. PCSX4 renders games smoothly without compromising the visual quality. macOS is also supported via Metal (API).
