Persona 5 is up and running on one of the PC’s PlayStation 3 emulators

A big lesson that game publishers may take away from 2017 is to skip the Wii U and PlayStation 3 versions.

Like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, community developers already have Persona 5 running on a PlayStation 3 emulator. Nekotekina, the primary developer of the RPCS3 app that enables you to run PS3 games on a PC, has uploaded a video of Persona 5 running on a Windows machine with an Intel i7-5930K processor. Unlike the emulators for the GameCube/Wii (Dolphin) or Wii U (CEMU), RPCS3 doesn’t support most of the releases for Sony’s last-generation console. But despite its early, work-in-progress status, RPCS3 is progressing quickly, and it’s ability to run publisher Atlus’s anticipated role-playing game is evidence of that.
