长期以来，PC 玩家若想游玩许多 PlayStation 5 游戏，必须依赖发行商投入资源进行专门移植（索尼近期表示将缩减此类投入）。然而，随着 PS5 模拟器及其他工具的快速进步，近期的 PlayStation 游戏在普通 PC 上的可玩性正在不断提高。
For a long time, PC gamers could access many PlayStation 5 games only if the publisher invested in a bespoke port (something Sony has recently said it will be scaling back). Now, though, rapid advancements in PS5 emulators and other tools are making recent PlayStation titles increasingly playable on generic PCs.
SharpEmu 是这些模拟器中的先驱，从五月份的“非常早期的 Alpha 阶段”发展到目前能够“加载真实游戏的 eboot.bin，执行原生 CPU 指令，并部分处理 GPU 相关功能”。最新发布的版本宣称有 10 款经过测试的游戏达到了“可玩”状态，其中包括开发者 CursedIfElse 表示“以 60 fps 完全可玩”的六款游戏。这既包括简单的 2D 游戏，也包括以可玩帧率运行的 3D 大作以及 PS5 重制版。
SharpEmu was the first of these emulators, advancing from a "very early alpha stage" in May to a current state that can "load the eboot.bin of real games, execute native CPU instructions, and partially handle GPU-related functionality." The most recent release boasts 10 tested games that reach a "playable" state, including six that developer CursedIfElse says are "fully playable at 60 fps." That includes simple 2D games like but also 3D titles like and the PS5 remaster running at playable frame rates.
CursedIfElse 本周在社交媒体上写道：“SharpEmu 从一开始就优先考虑硬件准确性，我们终于开始看到这项投资的回报。它完全从零开始构建，这就是我们取得的进步。”
"SharpEmu has prioritized hardware accuracy from the very beginning, and we’re finally starting to see that investment pay off," CursedIfElse wrote on social media this week. "It was built completely from scratch, and this is how far we’ve come."
