KytyPS5 is a free and open source PlayStation 5 emulator written in C++ and released under the GPL 2.0 licence. It is based on a heavily modified version of Kyty, an earlier PS4 and PS5 emulator project.

It can boot 2D games and a selection of 3D games, including titles built with Unreal Engine 4 and 5, Unity and custom engines. It does not need low-level system modules from a console. Development is focused on game compatibility and boot reliability, and behaviour can change a lot between builds.

Windows and Linux are the main platforms. macOS support is experimental: the emulator is built for x86-64 and runs on Apple Silicon under Rosetta 2. New builds are published several times a day, and the project keeps a community compatibility list.
