New tests using RPCS3 on PS5 reveal CPU bottlenecks from the Cell architecture that limit native PS3 emulation, suggesting only the PlayStation 6 with a Zen 6 CPU could run PS3 games at full speed, potentially enabling native PS3 emulation from launch.
Digital Foundry’s PS5 Linux tests with RPCS3 show PS3 games can run on PS5, with titles like Ridge Racer 7 and Resistance scaling to 4K/60 and 4K/30 (40–60fps range) and Heavenly Sword reaching 5K upscales, but CPU-emulation of the PS3’s SPUs cripples others (GTA4, Metal Gear Solid 4, Killzone 2/3). Turning off MLAA helps Killzone 3, yet performance remains spotty and not polished. The results underline CPU bottlenecks and suggest true PS3 emulation on PS5 may hinge on future architectures (e.g., Zen 6), even as PS5 Linux enables deeper hardware exploration.
Metal Gear Online 2 PC project will bring back the Survival Mode in 2023, thanks to the team's successful implementation of dedicated server hosting for as cheap as possible. The project aims to add various fixes and updates to the custom maps, and a brand new map will become available later this year. The game's online functionalities are restored via the Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3.
