    AnyPS5 project runs PS5 games natively on PCโ—Open-source AnyPS5 dumps emulation to run PlayStation 5 console games natively on PC โ€” AMD Zen 2 architecture enables Proton-like binary translation for Windows and Linuxโœ‰newsTechnologySoftware27 min ago

    An open-source project called AnyPS5 aims to run PlayStation 5 games directly on Windows and Linux PCs without traditional emulation. Because the PS5 uses AMD Zen 2 architecture, the tool reportedly translates PS5 binaries for PC CPUs in a way comparable to how Proton runs Windows games on Linux. The approach could make PS5 game playback on PC faster and simpler than emulators, and it has drawn attention from gaming and Linux communities.
