    AnyPS5 hits 100% shader instruction coverage milestoneโ–ผAnyPS5 project reaches critical GPU milestone in race to enable running PS5 games natively on PC โ€” 100% shader instruction coverage is a massive step forward, but playing all PS5 games natively on PC is still far offโœ‰newsTechnologySoftware1 d ago

    The AnyPS5 project, which aims to let PS5 games run natively on PC, has achieved 100% shader instruction coverage โ€” meaning its GPU emulation can now handle the full instruction set of the PlayStation 5's RDNA 2-based graphics architecture. Developers and enthusiasts hail it as a critical milestone, but the team stresses full compatibility with all PS5 titles remains a long way off, as other emulation hurdles must still be solved.
