PS5 Games Run on Xbox Series As a result of this technical test, some PS5 games can now be run on the Xbox Series X.
So far, titles such as GEX Trilogy, Hellboy: Web of Wyrd, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, and Quake II have been confirmed to run successfully on the console. These games are compatible with the Xbox controller, and audio streaming is also possible in certain titles.

So far, titles such as GEX Trilogy, Hellboy: Web of Wyrd, Marvel Cosmic Invasion, and Quake II have been confirmed to run successfully on the console. These games are compatible with the Xbox controller, and audio streaming is also possible in certain titles. This development serves as a unique example of overcoming technical limitations between consoles.
Thanks to the KytyPS5 emulator, games like GEX Trilogy and Quake II can be played on Xbox Series
- The KytyPS5 emulator is software originally designed for the PC platform and utilizes the Vulkan graphics interface in the rendering phase. However, since the Xbox Series X hardware does not natively support the Vulkan infrastructure, the development team needs to adapt the existing rendering processes to the DirectX 12 environment. This technical conversion creates obstacles to directly transferring updates from the PC version of the software to the Xbox port. Consequently, the project’s progress is proceeding at a slower pace than expected.
Emulation Process Presents Technical Difficulties
Performance Values Still Need Improvement
Upon examining the shared images, it is observed that Quake II runs at 25 to 45 FPS on Xbox Series X. While these values indicate that the game is playable, they reveal that it does not yet have sufficient optimization for a stable experience.
Although this work, led by Uenal, is an impressive achievement, it is considered more of an experimental project than a commercial product. Experts emphasize that significant improvements to the codebase are needed for the emulation to work at full efficiency.
Console Limits Will Be Pushed Even Further in the Future
Xbox developer mode stands out as a valuable tool allowing independent developers to use console hardware for different purposes. Running PS5 games through this mode is considered a groundbreaking endeavor in the software world.
In the future, if the bridge between Vulkan and DirectX 12 becomes more stable, an increase in the number of emulation projects is expected. However, at the current stage, it can be said that such works largely remain at the level of a technical proficiency demonstration.
