The team behind the best Playstation 3 emulator, RPCS3, has announced that its emulator can now boot some triple-A games. Among these titles are Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, God of War 3, Uncharted, Gran Turismo HD Concept, WipeOut and Infamous.
Needless to say that this is a huge step for the PS3 emulation landscape. Moreover, this latest version of RPCS3 improves compatibility for a number of games. Some of them are the Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls 2, Ratchet & Clank, and Heavenly Sword.
Do note that most of the aforementioned games are not playable. Some of them have major graphical glitches, while others have awful performance. Still, the team is on the right path. The fact that they even boot is a major milestone.
It’s also worth noting that the God of War Collection is now fully playable on RPCS 3. As such, this may be the best way to experience these classic God of War games. Truth be told, these games can also be played via PCSX2. However, some gamers may be interested in the Collection that came out for the Playstation 3.
The RPCS3 team has also released a new video, showing some of the games running on the latest version of the Playstation 3 emulator. The team also plans to further improve compatibility and performance in future releases, so things are definitely looking interesting.
Enjoy!

There’s a typo on the title, it should be “God of War” not “Gow of War”
god of war of war
sounds like a chinese bootleg lol
LOL !! 😀 😀
Lol, yeah silly typo. Fixed
“Gow of War” is the superior game, anyways.
PCSX2 run god of war 2 correctly now? The last time I have played GOW2 on this ps2 emu many graphics features were turned off (characters shadows, bloom and other postprocessing effects) and in order to see them I had to run ps2 PCSX2 in software mode, and that mode was limited to 640×480.
If you read their full blog post, this new development actually is a major step forward. Basically, they discovered more about how the SPU interprets and processes data, and adjusted the code accordingly. Long story short, this solves major issues across numerous titles, and is a gigantic step forward in accurately emulating the system as a whole. This emulator is a godlike achievement of software engineering, and I’m thrilled Patreon has allowed them to develop at a breakneck pace.
omg what awesome news, if they keep up at this rate Ninja Gaiden Sigma will be playable soon. 😀
I still have my god of war 3 PS3 Blu ray disc, does it work?
It goes ingame, but it’s slow and has a ton of graphical glitches. The HD Collection works though.
Do you have a blu ray disc drive on your PC?
Nope
Then you can’t use a Blu-Ray disc
i like how pc gamers on this site are hunting for free single player games that are on console which they trashed previously
Name some.
This is exciting news, I’d love to play the uncharted triology.
Daqui dois anos acho q fica mais fluente tiro pelos… psx pcsx2
