A modding community has made headlines by successfully getting Steam games to run natively on the Sony PlayStation 5 (PS5). Rather than streaming the games to the console, modders have managed to run them directly on the device. One modder, identified as v7dt1 on X, showcased footage of their Steam library booting and operating within the PlayStation 5's user interface.
The game they downloaded directly from the digital platform crashed, indicating that there are still some issues to be resolved. Another notable project, Playden for PS5, has also gained attention. This project allows users to sign into Steam, navigate their libraries, download games, and play them on the console. It uses prospero-win, a port of Wine for the PS5, to facilitate this process.
Playden supports Direct3D versions 8 to 11 through DXVK, while Direct3D 12 games utilize VKD3D-Proton. The project can run games like Cyberpunk 2077, Hollow Knight, Cuphead, Portal 2, Dead Cells, and Deep Rock Galactic in a functional state. However, running Steam games on the PS5 comes with certain limitations. The console needs to be jailbroken, as the mod isn't officially supported by Sony. Interested users can find the instructions and necessary files on the project's GitHub repository.
