inFAMOUS First Light PC (native PS4 port)

inFAMOUS First Light, Sucker Punch’s 2014 standalone expansion to Second Son starring Abigail “Fetch” Walker, was a PS4 exclusive, as was the main game. After HayatoG’s native Second Son port showed First Light booting on 20 October 2026, vantage published this dedicated repository the next day and released eleven builds in five days. On 27 October 2026 it had about 90 GitHub stars. The commits credit Claude as a co-author on much of the work.

What it is

• The game’s own code, run natively: PS4 games are x86-64 programs, so the port loads the game’s executable from your dump and runs it on your PC’s processor. The PS4’s system libraries and loader are reimplemented, in the same style as the Bloodborne and God of War III ports.
• Graphics through shadPS4 code: the PS4’s GPU work is translated to Vulkan 1.3. Two renderers ship: v2, the default, from Castlesea’s Second Son port, and v3, experimental since 0.3.3, from axylpup’s multithreaded Second Son build of shadPS4.
• A launcher with a Continue card for your save, automatic updates (since 0.3.2) and a --play option for Steam or Playnite shortcuts.
• Forked from Second Son: the code comes from HayatoG’s iss_pc; the repository isn’t marked as a GitHub fork, but most of its history is iss_pc’s.

Current status

What the README and players report:

• about 35 to 45 FPS at 1080p on renderer v2 with an RTX 4070 Super (15 to 25 on the original renderer); v3 gives 35 to 45 in the streets and 60 to 100 high above them; players with an RTX 3070 report 31 to 42 FPS;
• 1080p, with 800p and 720p options, and experimental 21:9 and 32:9 since 0.3.7;
• Xbox and PlayStation controllers and the keyboard; the touchpad and motion sensor (used for graffiti) are simulated; direct mouse camera since 0.3.6;
• sound, and Fetch’s neon powers, dash trail, lights and particles drawn correctly.

Known problems: the first start compiles shaders for two to three minutes; some GPU work still costs frame rate; graphics cards with 4 GB of video memory run out of memory; the US dump failed on Linux for one player until 0.3.6; there are reports of crashes when setting a frame limit in the game’s menu or during shader compiling, audio crackling, and a sluggish mouse. Trophies are only logged. We didn’t play it ourselves.

What you need

• A dump of your own PS4 inFAMOUS First Light, made from your own console. The European release CUSA00897 (base 1.00) is the tested one. No PS4 firmware or system files are needed. We don’t explain how to obtain or copy game data.
• A GPU with Vulkan 1.3 and in practice more than 4 GB of video memory, and a CPU with AVX.
• Windows 10 or 11, or Linux x86-64.

How to install (overview)

From the README, at a high level: download the Windows zip or the Linux tarball from the official Releases page, unpack it, start the launcher and point it at your dump; it prepares your game’s files locally and compiles shaders on the first start. Later updates come through the launcher.

First Light and Second Son

The two games now have native ports from the same family of projects. For the main game, see inFAMOUS Second Son on PC, which covers both the shadPS4 fork and HayatoG’s native port that First Light is built on. Similar First Light repositories by other people exist on GitHub, smaller and with few or no releases; this one is the most active.

Is it official, and will it stay up?

• No, it is an unofficial fan project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Sony or Sucker Punch.
• We found no takedown on 27 October 2026; GitHub’s DMCA archive had no Sony notice in October. The releases contain no game files, firmware, keys or Sony assets, according to the README.
• The developer’s account was created on 10 October 2026. Get the port only from the official repository.
