PS3 Recompiled Games: Every Native PC Port (Oct 2026)

PS3 games run on the Cell processor, which is hard to translate. The projects here are recent static recompilation efforts and most are still early, so check each project’s status before expecting a full game.

Short answerUpdated

We track 4 PS3 projects. 3 are playable today (stable or beta), including Drakengard 3, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and The Simpsons Arcade Game. Every one needs files from your own copy of the game; we never link to game files.

FAQ

What PS3 games have been recompiled for PC?

As of Oct 19, 2026, 3 PS3 projects are playable (stable or beta): Drakengard 3, Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and The Simpsons Arcade Game. 1 more are early, unconfirmed or offline. The table on this page lists every one with its status.

Do I need my own copy of the PS3 game?

Yes. These projects ship code, not games: each one needs files from a copy you own, and this site never links to game files, ROMs or disc images.

Is a recompiled PS3 game the same as an emulator?

No. An emulator imitates the console while the game runs; a recompiled or decompiled game has been turned into a PC program beforehand, which usually runs faster and allows features like high frame rates and widescreen.
