GPCS4 is an open-source virtualization-based PS4 emulator project written in Java for Android OS.

This is the first and the only PS4 emulator which allows you to play Play Station 4 games on smartphone devices.

First commercial game support, We are Doomed; it’s not playable now, since the FPS is very low, because there are currently no optimizations.

GPCS4 emulator will recompile all the shaders, untiling all the textures and upload all the buffers every frame, making it less efficient.

Besides, there are still some problems in the game pad emulation; the developers will try to resolve these issues incrementally.

GPCS4 emulator can runs most of the PS4 exclusive titles on high-end systems with some bugs/glitches as it is still in beta.

You can now play PS4 games on Android at variable frame rates with a smooth experience as most of the titles can now run at 60 FPS and beyond.

GPCS4 emulator use the built-in frame-limiter to speed up or slow down the game for rapid grinding or passing through difficult areas.

The advanced settings menu lets users tune in-game resolution, add post-processing effects, and extend visual enhancement features.

To run or develop GPCS4, a CPU supporting AVX instruction set as well as a Snapdragon graphics card supporting Vulkan are required.

The current state of GPCS4 emulator at booting decrypted kernels can be followed in the issue tracker: both PS4 4.55 and PS4 5.00 have been tested.

There will be frequent releases which you can get from the downloads section.
