The '''[[Wikipedia:PlayStation 5|PlayStation 5 (PS5)]]''' is a home video game console developed by [[Sony|Sony Interactive Entertainment]]. Announced in 2018 as the successor to the [[PlayStation 4 emulators|PlayStation 4]], the PS5 was released by Sony on November 12, 2020, in most countries.
The platform launched in two varieties: a base model with an '''[[#Hardware_features_and_peripherals|Ultra HD Blu-ray]]'''-compatible optical disc drive that retailed for {{Inflation|USD|499|2020}} and a Digital Edition lacking this drive that retailed for {{Inflation|USD|399|2020}}, serving as a lower-cost variant for consumers who prefer to buy games through digital download.
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.
Rumors swirl around a potential mid-generation revision of the PlayStation 5 (probably PlayStation 5 Pro), similar to [[PlayStation_4_emulators|previous console generation]].
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.

===Home screen and apps===

PlayStation Home Menu is a graphical user interface developed by Sony Computer Entertainment. You can launch various applications from this interface as well.
*No emulator supports this at the moment.
===Trophies===
:[https://psnprofiles.com/trophies?platform=ps5 PSNProfiles: PlayStation 5 Trophies]
Trophies are PlayStation Network awards presented to players for completing specific tasks in a game. The feature is present in most PlayStation 3 games, and all PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 games.[https://playstation.fandom.com/wiki/Trophies] Trophies shouldn't be confused with [[#Enhancements|RetroAchievements]].
===Ultra HD Blu-ray drive===
PlayStation 4(Pro) and PlayStation 5 consoles supports Blu-ray Disc Video and DVD-Video but only PlayStation 5 supports <abbr title="Needs 'Ultra HD Blu-ray drive'">4K Ultra HD</abbr>. However it does not have the capability to play VCDs, additionally, the format is not supported by the consoles system software.
:See [[Home_Media_Player#Emulators|this dedicated page]] for more information about home media playback support for emulation softwares.

==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.
===Fake emulators===
Because most people don't understand how emulation works, scammers try and take advantage of this by making [[Emulator scams|fake emulators]] for malicious purposes. The PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 has seen its fair share of scams, the most notable and persistent of which being '''PCSX4'''. The scheme is very elaborate and clever, with a website designed to mimic [[RPCS3]]'s while using a similar naming scheme as [[PCSX-Reloaded|PCSX]] and [[PCSX2]] (both of which are legitimate). The site uses aggressive search engine optimization (SEO), meaning it's one of the top results for "PS4 emulator" or "PS5 emulator" on Google. Two things invalidate PCSX4's legitimacy:
* The obstruction of the download behind endless surveys. Emulator development nowadays gets its funding from [[Emulators on Patreon|Patreon]] or Google Play.
* It is fairly easy to fake a PS4 (and even [[PlayStation 5|PS5]]) emulator by taking the open-source [https://git.sr.ht/~thestr4ng3r/chiaki Chiaki] Remote Play client, which works by streaming games from an actual PS4, and modifying the GUI to display fake hardware usage stats alongside the game. If its claims of running any PS4 game in 4K at 60FPS with little to no issues were true, there would certainly be news articles about it, just like there were for [[Cemu]].
