Tom's Hardware publishes in-depth coverage explaining that AnyPS5 converts PS5 executable files into Windows and Linux formats while recompiling shaders to SPIR-V for Vulkan. The article notes development remains in early stages, with test builds managing to boot select games to the main menu and some reaching gameplay with audio, though a working public build has not been released. The project still requires significant work on system libraries and PlayStation 5-specific APIs.

“Since the PS5 is powered by AMD's Zen 2 hardware, it uses the x86-64 architecture, thus allowing AnyPS5 to work as a compatibility translation layer somewhat similar to Proton or Wine.”
