This fork runs KytyPS5, a free and open-source PlayStation 5 translation layer, on the Xbox Series X in Developer Mode, as a UWP app that also runs on Windows.
Important
KytyPS5 is not affiliated with Sony Interactive Entertainment or PlayStation. The project does not distribute games or copyrighted system software. Use only game files that you have obtained legally.
What the Xbox version adds:
- An app made for the controller. A game library with covers, game options, settings, trophies, a controller guide and a statistics overlay, laid out like the Xbox's own screens.
- A Direct3D 12 renderer next to upstream's Vulkan renderer. Shaders are translated with Mesa's
spirv_to_dxil. - Room for big games on the console. Game memory is committed as it is used, a swap file keeps games within the Series X's app memory limit, and texture options trade detail for memory.
- Up to four players. The DualSense's touchpad, motion sensors, adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, speaker and microphone are mapped to the Xbox controller and its headset.
- Games on a USB drive. Game folders and
.zararchives play from a drive, and saves, patches and trophies can live there too.

- XBOX_CHANGES.md lists every change against upstream, one commit per topic, and the known limits on the Series X.
