- Perfect: No noticeable issues start to finish
- Playable: Can be finished; minor glitches or slowdowns

- Menus: Reaches the title screen or menus only
- Boots: Starts, then hangs on a black screen or intro
- Nothing: Does not start
It gets in-game, but official builds aren't stable yet. KytyPS5 0.3.0 runs at about 42-47fps on an RTX 4080 (GameGPU), and the Jetsku community fork cleared the Sky Garden level on an RTX 5070 at about 45fps average, while official builds still crashed after the opening cutscene. SharpEmu reaches gameplay but is very heavy, and AnyPS5 runs the title screen at about 15fps. KytyPS5 doesn't start it on Mac.
Settings & known issues
- KytyPS5 official builds crash at the end of the opening cutscene on a new save (report of Oct 28, 2026).
- On Linux, KytyPS5 reaches gameplay but audio is slow and shaders are broken.
- On Apple Silicon Macs, KytyPS5 can't start it because MoltenVK lacks required GPU features.
