Rumors swirl around a potential mid-generation revision of the PlayStation 5 (probably PlayStation 5 Pro), similar to [[PlayStation_4_emulators|previous console generation]].

It uses a custom 8-core AMD Zen 2 processor running at 3.5GHz, supported by 16GB/256-bit GDDR6 Ram, with 512MB of DDR4 RAM (used as SSD controller cache). It is also the first PlayStation console to use an SSD for storage.

The console’s architecture is very similar to that of a PS4, so a PS4 emulator may support PS5 in the future, similar to how Dolphin supports Wii while originally being a GameCube emulator.

==Emulation issues==
Due to the PS5's [[POS_(Pong_Consoles)_CPUs_and_Other_Chips#x86_CPUs|x86 architecture]] and FreeBSD-based operating system[https://www.reddit.com/r/PS5/comments/juggo1/has_anyone_done_an_nmap_scan_of_the_ps5_to/], emulators for the device will, by and large, be very unconventional. Despite the x86's instruction set being huge<ref>{{cite web | url= https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/x86_instruction_listings | title= x86 instruction listings | Wikipedia}}</ref>, a trait that would typically lead to years of development time by emulators, it opens the ability for pre-existing hypervisors to do the heavy lifting, eliminating the need for a recompiler. There is also, as of this time, little to no documentation on the GPU used in the PS5's APU, and it will require a complete re-implementation by emulator developers.
In recent years many [https://www.playstation.com/en-us/games/pc-games/ PlayStation 5 exclusive titles are now being ported to PC] with [[#Enhancements|enhancements]], so similar to [[PlayStation_4_emulators#Emulation_issues|PlayStation 4 (Pro)]], [[Xbox One emulators#Emulation issues|Xbox One (X|S)]] and [[Xbox_Series_X_and_Series_S#Emulation issues|Xbox Series X|S]] situations this '''could''' lead to a decreased interest in development. Having said that, there are still considerable amount of games exclusive to those consoles, this includes games for both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S that haven't been ported and titles lacking enhanced/next-gen update for PC. See [[List of notable ports#External_links]] section for all of those games.
