SharpEmu Lists Ten PS5 Games as Playable, Six of Them at 60 FPS
PS5 emulation on PC tends to get talked about as a someday project. Ars Technica reports that rapid advancements in PS5 emulators and other tools are making recent PlayStation titles increasingly playable on generic PCs, and the tested roster is no longer just 2D curiosities. SharpEmu's most recent release lists 10 games reaching a quote-unquote playable state, six of which its developer, CursedIfElse, calls fully playable at 60 fps. The set includes simple 2D games like Tetris Forever alongside 3D titles such as Astro Bot and the PS5 Demon's Souls remaster running at playable frame rates. That is a developer's account of its own progress rather than an independent benchmark, but the direction is not ambiguous: games that until recently required a bespoke port are starting to run on hardware Sony never blessed.

Worth being precise about whose claim the 60 fps figure is. It's the emulator team's own assessment of its own compatibility list, not a third party's measurement.
Fair, though the pace matters more than the scoreboard. The same project was described as being at a very early alpha stage in May.
