Game testing and info on how to get it running
This page is dedicated to testing and reporting games running on PS4 Linux.
CAUTION
Some of these games have worked perfectly fine in the past but could break in the future because of GPU drivers. If you see such an experience, make an issue on GitHub!
Levels of stability and performance for PC games
There's multiple levels of stability:
- Broken
- The game doesn't work at all
- Low
- Major graphical glitches ruin the experience, or it just lags heavily
- Medium
- Some issues here and there, you can still see frequent glitches
- High
- Works for the most part, with the only issues being in specific places that don’t really affect the majority of the game
- Perfect
- It works with no issues
TIP
Freeing up as much RAM as possible to make some of these games launch is highly recommended. ZRAM won't help much if you have two browsers open!
Also, UNREAL ENGINE 5 games are broken. They will not be reported.
