Fans når en milepæl i 4K og 60 Fps for Bloodborne på PC gjennom Shadps4

Bloodborne has reached a technical milestone on PC, driven entirely by community effort. The latest ShadPS4 emulator update, version 0.12.6, enables the game to run at 4K and 60 frames per second, marking the sharpest and smoothest version available to date. The breakthrough comes a decade after the original release, with Sony showing no signs of returning to the title. For many players, this emulator build offers the first real look at how the game behaves on modern hardware.

The update allows higher-end PCs to run Bloodborne at native 4K while holding a stable 60 FPS, a level far beyond the limits of official hardware. On PlayStation 5, the game remains capped at 1080p and 30 FPS through backward compatibility, a restriction that has frustrated fans hoping for a remaster or patch. The contrast highlights how much room the game still has to scale when freed from PS4-era constraints.

ShadPS4 has relied on a slow and methodical development process. Bloodborne’s engine was built specifically for Sony’s hardware, making accurate emulation difficult. Progress accelerated over the past year, and version 0.12.6 represents the emulator’s most stable and advanced state for the game so far. The setup remains complex, but detailed guides have smoothed the path for users willing to navigate the installation process.

The community continues to push the game forward in ways the publisher has not. Hopes for an official remaster resurfaced briefly around the tenth anniversary, but no announcement followed. Fans now look toward The Game Awards on December 11, though expectations are muted. For many, the emulator has become the only functional route to a modernized version of the game. Its latest update reinforces that position and gives players a practical way to revisit the title at its best technical quality.
