Bloodborne PC Port Is A Sight To Behold, Community Has Elite Dev Potential

The Bloodborne community is, once again, wondering why Sony hasn’t decided to offer players an official way to play the game on PC, considering how high-quality the unofficial PC version of the game has turned out.

Nobody truly knows why Sony hasn’t done more with Bloodborne since it released in 2015, but we can make some educated guesses.

The simplest explanation is that developers FromSoftware are simply too busy to produce some kind of port or sequel to the game, but that wouldn’t exactly stop Sony from getting another developer to take over from them.

The other potential reason is that porting Bloodborne to PC might be more trouble than it sounds, considering the game was designed as a PlayStation exclusive title in the first place.

That hasn’t stopped the community from taking matters into their own hands however, as, through the use of the ShadPS4 emulator and a legally obtained copy of Bloodborne, you can technically play the game on PC– it’s just not quite the same as it would be if you were playing a native PC version of the game.

Over on the r/BloodbornePC subreddit, users have nothing but positive words for the incredibly talented modders who made a PC version of the game possible.

“The community are the true developers”, commented user Apart_Quit_579.

“This Community is Goated and will never let this masterpiece die just cause some sony f**ks doesnt care about bloodborne”, replied user Willing-Angle-8041.

“It saddens me how Bloodborne has become just another lost IP to Sony. You’d think with the massive success of Elden Ring and resurgence in both horror movies and games that they’d be all over this”, commented user IdTheDemon.

“It’s no different than Square sitting on Deus Ex after the success of Cyberpunk 2077 post Edge Runners.”

So, if you want to try running Bloodborne on PC yourself, how exactly would you do it?

First things first, you’ll want to download the ShadPS4 emulator. This part is completely legal and ShadPS4 is safe to use, so don’t worry about that bit.

From there, you need to obtain a legal KPG of Bloodborne. This can only be done (legally, at least) if you own the game yourself, but it’s a bit of a process that’s gonna require some research on your behalf.

It’ll take some tinkering to get exactly the right level of performance you desire, based on your system’s specs, but lemme tell ya… modded Bloodborne is a sight to behold, and the effort is well worth the end result.
