In October 2024, we informed you about shadPS4 booting THE best-looking PS4 racing game, Driveclub. And today, we are happy to report that Driveclub can now run and can go in-game thanks to shadPS4Plus.
Now, as you will see, the game is nowhere close to being described as playable. There are major visual issues, so it will take a while until we are able to enjoy this racing game on PC. Still, the fact that it can go in-game is solid progress.
In this current stage, Driveclub runs with around 38FPS on an Intel Core i5 3600KF with an NVIDIA RTX 3080Ti. Yep, you read that right. shadPS4Plus is able to unlock the game, meaning that it runs above 30FPS. So, I can assume that the emulator will offer a 60FPS experience on a high-end PC once it can perfectly emulate it.
To showcase the shadPS4 progress, YT’s BrutalSam shared the following video. This will give you an idea of how the game runs right now on the latest version of shadPS4Plus. However, you should temper your expectations. As I said, it’s not playable. Nevertheless, I am excited about its progress.
Driveclub is a game I really wanted Sony to bring to PC. And since this won’t ever happen, this PS4 emulator may be the only way we can experience it on PC. It sucks but hey, it is what it is.
Speaking of PS4-only games, there has been some progress with inFamous: Second Son and The Last Guardian. Like Driveclub, though, they are nowhere close to being described as playable. On the other hand, Godzilla 2014 is in a better state as it correctly displays most of its graphics.
Overall, I’m quite happy with the progress of shadPS4. In theory, we might be able to enjoy Driveclub by the end of 2025.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
