Your PS5 can now run Android, Switch 2, and PC games, if you get your hands dirty
You need a jailbroken PS5, which in turn requires firmware older than v13.60.
A new open-source tool called Hydroid has been created, enabling jailbroken PS5 consoles to run 64-bit Android games directly. This innovative development, crafted by developer ZiZc3, eliminates the need for a Linux dual-boot environment by utilizing a dynamic recompiler (dynarmic) to run a game's compiled ARM64 code. The tool effectively translates Android subsystem calls for graphics, audio, DualSense controller input, and storage, allowing users to enjoy native Android games on their PS5 without booting Linux or a virtual machine.
