Info
PCSX4 is an open-source multi-platform experimental PS4 Emulator project written in C++ for PC compatible with Windows.
The first and the only Play Station 4 emulator which allows you to play PS4 games on computer desktop.
It can runs most of the PS4 exclusive titles on high-end systems with some bugs/glitches as it is still in beta.
Highlights
PCSX4 emulator is capable of many great things, thanks to our developers and supporters who are contributing to this project; it’s a community-driven project, anyone can contribute.
You can now play PS4 games on Windows at variable frame rates with a smooth experience as most of the titles can now run at 60 FPS and beyond.
Use the built-in frame-limiter to speed up or slow down the game for rapid grinding or passing through difficult areas.
PCSX4 emulator performance is primarily determined by graphics memory and shader clock speed.
This application lets users tune in-game resolution, add post-processing effects, and extend visual enhancement features.
Graphics settings can be tuned on the fly without reloading the game, like in some emulators.
Graphics enhancement, mods, and custom shaders are also supported.
The visual quality of the PS4 games just keeps getting better with each major release.
There will be frequent releases which you can get from the downloads section.
