Rapid advancements in PS5 emulation have enabled playable performance for several 3D titles on PC, with SharpEmu and KytyPS5 achieving 60 FPS in select games and AnyPS5 offering a direct porting alternative.
SharpEmu, an experimental PlayStation 5 emulator, is in early development and cannot run games yet, but can load eboot.bin/elf files, execute native CPU instructions, and emulate basic system functions, signaling progress similar to PS4 emulation thanks to the PS5’s PC-friendly architecture. Demon's Souls remake boots in tests and other titles show partial rendering, hinting at future PC releases of PS5 exclusives like Ghost of Yotei, Marvel's Wolverine, and God of War Laufey. However, GTA VI will not run on PC via PS5 emulation this November, so expectations should be kept in check.
Sony has halted its social media activity following the Bluepoint closure, with a scheduled Marathon post going live just as the news broke and fans firing off hostile replies; the silence is likely to continue over the weekend as the company and fans respond to the fallout from the acquisition-led decision.
Bluepoint Games, the Austin-based studio behind Demon's Souls and other PlayStation remasters, has reportedly been shut down after a Sony business review, with roughly 70 staff laid off. Sony had acquired Bluepoint in 2021; the studio was previously working on a live-service God of War project that was canceled in 2025, signaling a shift away from the remaster-focused strategy.
Sony's PS5 will soon support a new Power Saver feature through a firmware update, initially enabling it for three first-party games—Demon's Souls, Ghost of Yotei, and Death Stranding 2—by reducing performance to save power, which may also hint at future portable console plans.
Hidetaka Miyazaki, the renowned game director behind iconic titles like Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, and Bloodborne, has revealed that Bloodborne surpasses its predecessors in a major gameplay aspect. Miyazaki explained that the armor parameters in Demon’s Souls and Dark Souls had significant flaws, which were addressed and improved upon in Bloodborne. This revelation came during an interview with FuturePress, where Miyazaki discussed the evolution of game development and the success of Bloodborne, which has sold over 7.46 million copies and generated net sales of $265 million.
Sony is conducting a Twitter poll to determine the favorite PlayStation game, but fans are upset that Bloodborne is not included in the selection. The 16 contestants are all first-party PlayStation games, with the exception of Demon's Souls, the Bluepoint remake. Fans speculate that Demon's Souls made the list due to Bluepoint being acquired by Sony. Despite the omission, fans believe Bloodborne would have easily won if included.
Elden Ring modder Dropoff has recreated Demon's Souls' iconic Boletarian Palace level within the game.

The recreation looks faithful to the original, with a few key differences. Modders continue to alter Elden Ring, and it will be interesting to see what players come up with as they explore the game's vast world.
