Jailbroken PS5 now runs Windows Steam games locally
A jailbroken PS5 can now run Steam games locally via Playden, an alpha launcher built on prospero-win, a PS5 port of Wine, with DXVK handling graphics. Version 0.5.0 added Direct3D 12 through VKD3D-Proton, and 0.6.0 brought USB/FTP imports, 120 Hz output and a 4K option.
- Playden signs into Steam via QR code and launches games from tiles on the PS5 home screen
- Version 0.5.0 added D3D12 via VKD3D-Proton, opening the door to Cyberpunk 2077
- Version 0.6.0 brought USB and FTP imports, 120 Hz output and a 4K option
- Mostly older and indie titles work; many games crash or fail to start
