The recently released Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity playable demo can already be played on PC thanks to the Ryujinx emulator at 4K resolution and beyond.
A new video shared by BSoD Gaming on YouTube shows how the demo can run at 8K resolution with a more than acceptable performance. There are still some glitches here and there, but this definitely bodes well for when the full game will release later this month.
Let's take a look at Breath of the Wilds Prequel, Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity, running at 8K resolution on PC via the Nintendo Switch Emulator Ryujinx. All Gameplay was captured using the Demo of Hyrule Warriors AoC, meaning the main game is likely to run just as well when it releases.
