In mid-July 2026, a major breakthrough was made in the world of gaming emulation with the release of KytyPS5, a software program that allows a PlayStation 5 game console to be simulated on a personal computer. This means that PC users can run PS5 games without needing the actual console. The software successfully launched the PS5 version of Grand Theft Auto V (GTA V), displaying the game's menu and settings. However, the actual gameplay could not be initiated at that time. A few weeks after its initial release, KytyPS5 achieved a new milestone by running the prologue of the PS5 version of GTA V on a Windows PC with good fluidity. A demonstration video showed the game running with a frame rate fluctuating between 40 and 60 frames per second, which is considered a strong performance for an emulator in its early stages. This was accomplished on a high-end machine equipped with an AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D processor and an AMD Radeon RX 7900 XT graphics card. However, the game abruptly closed just before the first major shootout with the police, which occurred within the prologue. Despite this interruption, internet users found a way to skip the problematic section to test whether KytyPS5 could handle the open world of GTA V. The results were promising, though the experience was not yet fully refined. During gameplay, the frame rate dropped to 15, but it recovered to around 45 during real-time cinematic sequences generated by the game engine. This progress, achieved in a short period, is seen as very encouraging by the emulation community. With Sony announcing the end of physical support for PlayStation consoles, this development has given hope to players who are concerned about preserving their preferred gaming medium. Some of the most optimistic observers believe that the continued progress on KytyPS5 may eventually allow them to play GTA 6 on PC without waiting for an official port from the game's developers.
