Relinker that converts PS5 game executables into native Linux, Windows or macOS programs, with reimplemented system libraries and no emulator.
Free tool inUtilities
AnyPS5 at a glance
Checked 18 Oct 2026AnyPS5 is a GPL-2.0-only C++ project that relinks a decrypted PS5 executable into a native x86-64 Linux, Windows or macOS binary and supplies reimplemented PS5 system libraries plus a shader recompiler; it is not an emulator. Game support is partial and tracked per title. You must supply your own legally obtained game files; none are included. The CPU needs Zen 2 extensions such as AVX2. Flag: the repo gained about 40k stars in roughly 74 days, unusually fast, though its 10,000+ commits and PRs from many contributors look like real activity. Free tool; replaces no paid product.
