While there are a few PlayStation 4 exclusives that the ShadPS4 emulator has made playable on PC, such as the aforementioned Gravity Rush Remastered, most players have been keeping an eye on the best PlayStation 4 emulator currently available to see how well it can run Bloodborne. Thanks to the emulator development team and many modders, the game developed by FromSoftware can be played on PC with a variety of improvements and even blazing fast load speeds, and players will soon be able to enjoy better visuals thanks to an unofficial remaster that is currently in the works which will offer something more beyond the higher resolution and 60FPS gameplay made possible by the emulator.
