We are delighted to announce that as of today, the RPCS3 Loadable compatibility category has reached 0 GAMES! This means there are no PS3 games left that boot to a black screen on the emulator - every PS3 game at the very least boots and shows image output. Happy holidays!

RPCS3 supports the Stop Killing Games initiative in the EU🎮 Many PS3 online-only games are already dead But it doesn't mean that has to be the norm going forward with future games to come on other platforms If you're an EU citizen🇪🇺support it here too! eci.ec.europa.eu/045/public

We're delighted to announce that RPCS3 now has a total of ZERO games in the Nothing status! This means that all known games and applications at least boot on the emulator, with no on-going regressions that prevent games from booting. We look forward to emptying out Loadable too!

Mr. Kojima's highly acclaimed Metal Gear Solid 4 remains a PlayStation 3 exclusive after 16 years due to publisher issues. However, it is fortunately preserved with RPCS3. Even though the game is not yet considered playable, you can already play it if you have a good computer.

We are aware of several PS3 scam "emulators" roaming around, specially for mobile platforms where the targeted audience doesn't understand much about tech. We remind that RPCS3 is NOT natively available for Android or iOS and that we will NOT be porting it to these platforms.
