==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.
