Shadow of the Colossus PC port (PS4 remake, ShadowOfTheColossus-PC)

Shadow of the Colossus was remade by Bluepoint Games for the PS4 in 2018 and never came to PC. In October 2026 it joined the wave of native PS4 ports that started with Bloodborne and continued with God of War III and The Last Guardian. The repository appeared on 2026-10-12; DSOGaming and TweakTown covered it.

Status on 2026-10-21: active. Version 0.60.4 was published on 2026-10-21, with several releases a day.

How it works

• The PS4 uses the same x86-64 processor family as a PC, so the game’s own code runs directly on your CPU.
• A loader supplies the PS4 system functions the game needs. It comes from the Bloodborne port family (Supermedo’s Windows version of bloodborne_pc, built on deadinside28’s bbport). The README says it is not a full emulator.
• The PS4 graphics are translated to Vulkan with the video core of shadPS4, including fixes taken from Pink-shadPS4 (below).

That puts it between a port and an emulator, like its siblings; see our PS4 recompiled games page.

What the README lists

• The game can be played to the credits (0.60.3), with an in-game menu (Insert, F1 or L3+R3) for FPS, resolution, sharpening and effects.
• 60 FPS through the game’s own PS4 Pro Performance mode, PS4 Pro mode, 16x texture filtering and high quality textures.
• Output from 720p to 4K (the game renders at 1080p and is upscaled with FSR 1), 21:9 and 32:9 widescreen, experimental FSR 3 / DLSS-G frame generation.
• DualShock 4, DualSense and Xbox controllers, a mouse camera, key remapping, and import of a shadPS4 save.
• On an RTX 2060 SUPER the title-screen demo averages about 67 FPS in 60 FPS mode, dropping to 29 to 34 FPS in its heaviest section.

What you need

• Your own PS4 copy of Shadow of the Colossus, dumped from your console (CUSA08809; EU version 1.01 preferred). The 60 FPS and 16x filtering modes only work on EU 1.01; other versions run at 30 FPS. Support for the US version (CUSA08034) has been requested in the issues. We do not explain how to get game files.
• Two decrypted sound modules from your own PS4 firmware, libSceNgs2.sprx and libSceUlt.sprx. They are Sony firmware and are not included; the launcher finds them in an existing shadPS4 install. Without them the game is silent.
• 64-bit Windows 10/11 and a graphics card with Vulkan 1.3 (NVIDIA, AMD or Intel, recent driver). With 8 GB of video memory or less, the README suggests a lower memory setting.

Native port or Pink-shadPS4?

There is a second way to play on PC: Pink-shadPS4 by luizgustavs, a fork of the shadPS4 emulator with its launcher, focused on Shadow of the Colossus. It came first (September 2026) and is much smaller (about 50 stars against about 1,300).

The native port credits Pink-shadPS4 for several graphics fixes and memory tweaks, so the two projects share work. Pink-shadPS4’s own README says its 0.5.0 release is faster but less stable than 0.4.0. If you already use shadPS4, see our shadPS4 guide.

Who made it

AjncSystem made the port; the README credits the bloodborne_pc authors (Supermedo, deadinside28 and forks), shadPS4, Pink-shadPS4 and more than ten community contributors, and the 60 FPS patch to illusion. The project’s commit messages credit Claude as co-author, so AI-assisted coding is used. The detailed changelog is in Portuguese.

Is it safe and legal?

• It is an unofficial fan project, not affiliated with Sony Interactive Entertainment or Bluepoint Games. It is GPL-2.0-or-later and the source code is in the repository.
• It contains no game data and no Sony firmware: the packaging script refuses any .sprx file. Only use a dump of a copy you own.
• Use only the GitHub repository. Look-alike “Shadow of the Colossus PC download” sites are not part of the project.

Known problems

The README lists slow, stuttering first loads after an update (shaders are rebuilt), occasional crashes with high quality textures in very wide views, white-glowing characters on older AMD GCN cards (RX 470 to 590, Vega), and 60 FPS physics still being tested. Check the release notes and issue tracker before reporting a problem, and attach the session log the README asks for.
