How this port works

This is a static recompilation: tooling mechanically translates the original console binary into PC code rather than rewriting the game by hand. The result runs natively, typically with an uncapped framerate and widescreen.

Native port of Shadow of the Colossus (PS2) to macOS and PS Vita: static recompilation with PS2Recomp, a native Metal/OpenGL renderer, and a decompilation in progress

Frequently asked

Do I need the original game to play Shadow of the Colossus on PC?

Yes. The project distributes no game data — you supply your own copy or dump. Every project in this scene works this way, and it is what lets them stay publicly hosted on GitHub.

What does "recompiled" mean?

This is a static recompilation: tooling mechanically translates the original console binary into PC code rather than rewriting the game by hand. The result runs natively, typically with an uncapped framerate and widescreen.

Will Shadow of the Colossus run on a low-end PC?

Native ports and recompilations skip CPU emulation entirely, so they are usually far lighter than an emulator for the same console. With no published measurement for this project, though, any estimate would be guesswork — test it on your own machine.

When was Shadow of the Colossus released?

The original game shipped in 2005, developed by Sony Computer Entertainment Japan and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. This PC port is from 2026.

Which systems does it support?

No release has been published, so there is nothing to say which systems it runs on. The game originally shipped on PlayStation 2.

Is it legal to use?

The project is public and open source, maintained by HenryKun55, and contains nothing from the commercial game. Responsibility for the game copy you use is yours — which is why the developers require you to supply your own.
