AnyPS5 Compatibility: Which PS5 Games Actually Run in 2026?
The honest compatibility list: one verified playable indie game, some unconfirmed claims, and no AAA titles. Updated October 2026.
This is the page to bookmark if you want the truth about what AnyPS5 can run, without the hype. Updated October 2026. The short version: one verified playable game — a 2D indie title called Dreaming Sarah. Everything else is either crashing, unconfirmed, or limited to tech demos.
Verified: Dreaming Sarah
Dreaming Sarah is a small 2D indie game, and it is the only title confirmed playable end-to-end on AnyPS5. It was almost certainly chosen as a target because it is simple — few system calls, simple graphics, a manageable surface for the project's still-growing library reimplementations. A first playable game is a genuine milestone for a relinker. It is also not evidence that bigger games are close.
Claimed but unconfirmed
Two louder claims are circulating, and both need a reality check:
- Dead Cells: Return to Castlevania Edition — one outlet reported third-party testers hitting roughly 55–60 FPS indoors (30–35 in open areas) at 4K on a Ryzen 7 5800X3D with an RTX 5070 Ti. Impressive if true, but it is a single third-party tester report, not project-verified.
- Astro Bot — reported as reaching its opening cinematic and tutorial on PC in early October. Getting through an intro cinematic is not "playable," and again, this is a community claim, not a confirmed result.
Neither has been reproduced or confirmed by the project itself. Treat them as interesting signals, not compatibility.
Confirmed: no AAA games
No Demon's Souls. No Spider-Man 2. No God of War Ragnarök. No AAA title of any kind has been shown running on AnyPS5 in any verifiable form. If you see a thumbnail promising otherwise, it is clickbait.
Where the honest data lives
The project's GitHub hosts a "Game bring-up" discussion section where contributors log exactly how far each title gets — with logs and technical breakdowns. That is the real compatibility list, and right now it reads mostly as a catalog of informative crashes. That is normal for this stage; every reimplemented library function turns some of those crashes into progress.
How to read future claims
As AnyPS5 grows, apply this filter to every compatibility claim: who verified it, and can anyone reproduce it? A video from a random channel is a claim. A bring-up log on the project's GitHub is evidence. The gap between those two things is where most gaming-tool hype lives and dies. We track the bigger picture on the AnyPS5 homepage, and the project's direction on what's next for AnyPS5.
