PS5 emulation is now running on Xbox Series X. The KytyPS5 emulator has been ported to Xbox Series X as a UWP app through Developer Mode. Some PS5 games are already booting with sound and controller support. The Xbox version uses a Direct3D 12 renderer and Mesa’s shader translation to make the PS5 software work on Xbox hardware. Performance is still rough: Astro Bot is around 10 FPS on Xbox right now, so this is definitely not replacing a PS5 yet.

PC Game Pass is now playable on Steam Deck without installing Windows. Xodus Nexus is an open-source Linux launcher that lets you download and run supported Microsoft Store and PC Game Pass games locally through a modified Wine/Proton setup. The latest update adds experimental Steam Deck support, including controller navigation and Steam Gaming Mode integration. You can even add the launcher or individual games to your Steam library. Games already tested on Linux include Gears of War: E-Day, Forza Horizon 6, Deep Rock Galactic, Minecraft Dungeons II, No Man’s Sky and Palworld. It’s still very much a work in progress. Some games don’t work, older UWP titles aren’t supported, and some login or online features can have problems.
