Another week, another article about the best PlayStation 4 emulator for the PC. So last month, we informed you about Red Dead Redemption Remastered running at around 25fps on a high-end PC system. And today, we are happy to report that the game can run with a locked 30fps.
YouTube’s “BrutalSam” has shared the following video, showcasing RDR Remastered with a locked 30fps. To get this kind of performance, the YouTuber used an Intel Core i5 13400 with 32GB of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060.
shadPS4 also offers an option to unlock the game’s framerate. However, that experimental setting is currently bugged. Instead of doubling the framerate, it doubles the game’s speed. The good news here is that the shadPS4 devs are looking into fixing this.
Now as you’ll see in the video, RDR Remastered has major visual artifacts. In short, it’s nowhere close to being described as playable. Still, the fact that the game can now run with 30fps is mind-blowing.
And that’s not all. Remember Tomb Raider I-III Remastered? Well, now this collection can run with 110fps.
shadPS4 came out of nowhere and has floored the competition. The other six PlayStation 4 emulators (psOff, fpPS4, Spine, RPCSX, Kyty and GPCS4) are way behind shadPS4. So, if there is one PS4 emulator that may one day allow PC gamers to play Bloodborne, that’s definitely shadPS4.
While the emulator is making huge progress in a matter of months (or even weeks), it won’t be able to run Bloodborne with 30fps by the end of 2024. If things keep progressing the way they do, though, we might be able to enjoy it by the end of 2025.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
