Bloodborne PS5 remaster fans shouldn't keep waiting as PS4 emulation delivers 100+ FPS on Ryzen 5 7600 and RTX 5060
While fans continue to hold out hope for an official Bloodborne PS5 remaster or a native PC port, the emulation community is already delivering the massive performance upgrade gamers have been waiting for. Playing Sony’s elusive PS4 exclusives at high frame rates is no longer restricted to top-tier enthusiast hardware, with mid-range PC builds now capable of pushing past the original console's 30 FPS cap.
The popular PS4 emulator shadPS4 continues to improve at a rapid pace. Recently, the developers released shadPS4 v0.16.0, one of the emulator's biggest updates to date. The release brought notable improvements to PS4 emulation while also expanding compatibility, allowing more games to run on the emulator.
We now have a glimpse of what the upcoming shadPS4 v0.16.1 update may be capable of, thanks to a new video from the YouTube channel Mutant Benchmarks. Interestingly, the creator demonstrated several PS4 titles running smoothly not on a high-end gaming rig, but on a relatively modest system featuring an AMD Ryzen 5 7600 processor and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card with 8 GB of GDDR7 VRAM. The test system was also equipped with 32 GB DDR5-6000 memory.
The first title tested was Bloodborne, which delivered average frame rates of between 75 and 100 FPS, with performance rising to around 100 to 120 FPS in some areas. The on-screen metrics also showed the GeForce RTX 5060 operating at 95% to 99% utilisation, while CPU usage on the Ryzen 5 7600 remained at roughly 40%, indicating the absence of any major CPU bottlenecks.
Next, the YouTuber tested God of War III Remastered, which ran at a mostly stable 60 FPS. While performance occasionally dropped to as low as 10 FPS in certain areas, frame rates quickly recovered and returned to smooth gameplay. During the test, CPU utilisation on the Ryzen 5 7600 remained relatively low at around 15%, whereas GPU utilisation was consistently higher at roughly 20% to 25%.
Another popular title tested by the YouTuber was The Last of Us Remastered. The game generally ran at 60 FPS, although it occasionally experienced frame rate dips that brought performance down to around 20 to 29 FPS before quickly recovering and returning to smooth gameplay.
In addition to the games mentioned above, the YouTuber tested several other popular PS4 titles, including Driveclub, Gravity Rush Remastered, InFamous Second Son, and Ratchet & Clank. The complete emulation test can be viewed in the video below.
