Key Takeaways
- The Bloodborne emulation has so far had one player achieve Platinum on the game on PC.
- This proves that not only is the base game fully playable now, but you can also play Select Areas and Chalice Dungeons.
Last August, programmers finally got Bloodborne running on a PS4 emulator, finally (at least unofficially) bringing the game to PC.
In just over a month, we went from a buggy, borderline unplayable build to playable from start to finish. This is a huge leap forward in emulation and brings Bloodborne to an audience that has been waiting for the latest FromSoftware classic for nearly a decade.
To show just how well Bloodborne is performing now, Reddit user WetCardboardSmell went platinum on the game, becoming the first player to do so on PC. This is a huge feat, showing that not only is the base game in good shape, but so are the Chalice dungeons and all optional areas.
This player says Bloodborne runs “much better” on PC.
Having experienced everything Bloodborne has to offer, these players are extremely well-positioned to answer questions about the state of PC gaming. In their opinion, “PC is much better than PS4” right now and they believe “it will only get better in the future.”
However, you cannot yet search for specific emblems in the Holy Grail Dungeon.
There are some impressive features made possible through emulation that cannot yet be replicated on consoles. For starters, the game can be upscaled to 4K resolution and even played at 60fps. However, it is much less stable.
However, considering that great progress has only been made in the past few months, it's only a matter of time before these issues are resolved and the game runs at a stable 4k60fps. For now, I'm in good enough shape to get all the trophies. This is a far cry from the unusable character creation menu we saw earlier this year.

Bloodborne is a PlayStation 4 exclusive title developed by FromSoftware, creators of Dark Souls and Elden Ring, and released in 2015. In this critically acclaimed action role-playing game, you must traverse the city of Yharnam in search of a cure for a mysterious disease.
