Forget PS3, you can already emulate these PS4 games
TL;DR Sony PlayStation 4 emulator ShadPS4 has updated its compatibility list after update 0.9.0.
It's still early in development, but a few dozen games are listed as playable, and more get in-game.
Playable games include Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, and more.
2025 has been an excellent year for emulation, with everything from the Nintendo Switch to the Sony PlayStation 3 making huge strides. The latest system added to the list is the Sony PlayStation 4, and after a new update the groundbreaking ShadPS4 emulator is now capable of playing more games than ever.
The latest testing comes after update 0.9.0, which launched a few weeks ago. The patch notes are very technical, but the end result is improvements in both compatibility and performance.
The ShadPS4 team specifically points to games like Tomb Raider: Definitive Edition, Guilty Gear Xrd REV 2, Lords of the Fallen, The Witch and the Hundred Knight 2, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants in Manhattan, and Odin Sphere Leifthrasir as playable after the latest patch. Others, such as Nier Automata and Catherine Fullbody, have improved but still fall short of being fully playable.
Dozens of PS4 games can now be emulated on Windows for the first time.
On Windows, the ShadPS4 compatibility page now lists 33 games as playable, with 81 more launching into the game. Linux and MacOS list 21 and five playable games, respectively. As of writing, there is still no Android build in the works, unlike RPCS3, which got a (semi) official port earlier this year.
Granted, the emulator is still very early in development, so you'll need to temper your expectations. Just because games are playable doesn't mean they don't have graphical glitches or crashing. It's not all that unlike Nintendo Switch emulation, which requires significant testing and tweaking to work, and even then, it may crash at any point.
Regardless, it's remarkable progress for a system as new and powerful as the PS4.

Benzinga and Yahoo Finance LLC may earn commission or revenue on some items through the links below. Dan Ives' new artificial intelligence exchange-traded fund (ETF) holds securities beyond the Magnificent 7 stocks, as he believes in looking past valuations for investments in the technology sector. What Happened: The Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF (NYSE:IVES), managed by the Wedbush analyst, started trading on June 4, earlier this month. Ives boasts of the fund by saying that it just doesn't have the top four, five Magnificent 7 names, but stocks which investors wouldn't even thematically consider as an AI name today. "I believe the market is still massively underestimating what the growth is going to look like for the AI revolution in tech," he told CNBC. Trending: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — According to him, tech trade remains significant even for the investors who missed out on its growth in the past few years. "If you focus just on valuation, you miss every transformational tech stock of the last 20 years," Ives said. Ives says Oracle Corp. (NYSE:ORCL) will be the 'epicenter' of the AI theme, while highlighting other 'AI 30' stocks which are part of his fund. Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR), International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM), Salesforce Inc. (NYSE:CRM), SoundHound AI Inc. (NASDAQ:SOUN), and Innodata Inc. (NASDAQ:INOD) are a few notable names that are a part of his ETF's 'AI 30' basket. Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:MSFT), Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:NVDA), and Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO) are the top three holdings of the IVES It Matters: The 'AI 30' stocks, which are a part of the IVES ETF, hold the AI plays from multiple industries. They include hyperscalers, cybersecurity, consumer platforms, and robotics. According to Ives, the list was compiled from his deep dives into major AI players. The ETF has $183 million in assets under management as of June 17 close. Ives said that the AI space was experiencing a "golden age." The Dan IVES Wedbush AI Revolution ETF has risen by 2.76% since its inception. A comparable index, S&P Kensho Global Artificial Intelligence Enablers, rose 6.08% on a month-to-date basis. Meanwhile, the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust ETF (NASDAQ:QQQ), which track the S&P 500 index and Nasdaq 100 index, respectively, declined slightly on Wednesday.
