In a series of unfortunate events for Sony PlayStation, the PS5 continues to face challenges, particularly from modders. Notably, developers have managed to get Microsoft's Xbox Cloud Gaming and Windows games running on the console, despite not being officially supported. RafaelNGP introduced PSBox Cloud Gaming for jailbroken PS5 systems, while Mihawk showcased their efforts in running Windows games directly on Sony hardware.
Notably, a project called PS5 Proton, developed by Mihawk, allows for both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows games to be played on the PS5 through the Proton compatibility layer, similar to Valve's approach on Steam Deck and Steam Machine. Mihawk is also working on a self-styled Mihawk OS, which aims to run Windows 11 games via Proton, with plans for a Linux compatibility layer.
The surge in PS5 emulation has gained significant momentum since Sony decided not to port its AAA single-player titles to PC and stop producing physical discs, leading to widespread backlash from the gaming community.
