The PlayStation 5 still remains the dominant player in the console gaming market, and even without as many triple-A exclusives as it used to, it has still been managing to sell out consoles in anticipation of upcoming releases. While part of this reason is that the PlayStation 5 is still too recent for the system to be reliably emulated, a recent breakthrough might be taking the advantage away from Sony.

Coming not long after modders were able to get PlayStation 3 games running on a jailbroken PS5 Pro, some dedicated fans have even managed to make the first steps at cracking the PlayStation 5's software entirely to get it running on PC.

As shown in the video uploaded by VinasExplosao on X, these modders have managed to get an actual PlayStation 5 running on PC as opposed to just a single emulated game, which offers yet another leap forward when it comes to fully cracking the system and its game catalog.

While there are still obviously a few kinks to work out, like the crackling audio or getting it to look just like it would on a PlayStation 5, it's still an incredibly promising feat that goes to show just how far modders have come since the console's inception, which has seen emulation efforts moving far faster than expected in recent years.

While most successful PlayStation 5 emulators have involved porting over smaller remasters of retro titles, even newer games like Marvel's Wolverine have been cracked mere weeks after their initial releases, and while they don't run nearly as smoothly as they would on a native console, they are still lightning fast for what should otherwise be possible.
