π° This Linux project runs Bloodborne's PS4 code directly on your CPU, and you can try it too
There has been a huge wave of unofficial console ports to the PC over the past few days. Our gaming editor, Patrick O'Rourke, has been hard at work documenting them all, with the latest being Super Mario Bros. Wonder making its way onto PC. Now, someone has gotten Bloodborne running on a Linux machine, and while it's not fully native, it's still very impressive.
