Open-source AnyPS5 aims to run PS5 games natively on PC without emulation

The open-source AnyPS5 project claims to run PlayStation 5 games natively on PC by translating PS5 executables into Windows and Linux formats and recompiling shaders into SPIR-V for Vulkan, avoiding emulation entirely. Development is early: test builds reach the main menu of select games, and no public build has been released.

• AnyPS5 acts as a compatibility layer similar to Proton or Wine, not an emulator
• The PS5's x86-64 Zen 2 architecture allows executable conversion without emulation
• Test builds boot some games to the main menu, with a few reaching gameplay with audio
• No public build is available yet; system libraries and proprietary APIs still need work
