Similarly, older games use older anti-aliasing methods, if they use them at all. With the CPU at the heart of the PS3, many of its titles don’t stress the graphics card as much as a normal game would. However, it may not work well in all games. With FSR now available, players can push their output resolution much higher than they’d normally be able to without pushing the game beyond its limits. RPCS3’s database says about 62% of games are “playable,” though many of the best PS3 games, including The Last of Us and Metal Gear Solid 4, have an “in-game” rating instead.

The PS3’s Cell processor was notoriously difficult to develop for, so running PS3 games on PC, especially through an emulator, is no easy task. Performance may not be what you’re expecting from a console that’s 15 years old, either. As is the case with a lot of emulators, you need a PS3 BIOS file to use RPCS3, as well as game files dumped from the original disk. The team describes new builds as “highly experimental” as the developers continue to support emerging tools like FSR.

RPCS3 is an open-source emulator that’s in active development. Update to the latest RPCS3 build and try it out!

RPCS3 is now the first game console emulator to support FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR)
