Bloodborne hits new emulation milestone

Running at just 1080p with an uneven 30 fps frame cap, Bloodborne is overdue for some form of update. Unfortunately, in the almost 10 years since the release of the game, we have gotten little-to-nothing in the way of enhancements. That said, last month the PS4 emulator ShadPS4 managed to get the game booted up to the character creator. One month later, another major milestone has been achieved.

The latest ShadPS4 bb-hacks branch has brought with it optimisations and more to allow for much further progress into making Bloodborne actually fully playable on PC.

While the last milestone saw the emulator able to boot up Bloodborne all the way to the character creator menu (already a massive improvement over the prior attempts), the game can now be booted into the actual game – technically letting you play through it.

That said, as can be seen from the video, the visuals remain quite messy and so it is clear a lot more work is still necessary to get the game in a playable state. Still, after almost a decade of trying and hoping to get Bloodborne to run on PC, it seems we are closer than ever.
