Expanding Online Play Options on RPCS3
Options for online play on RPCS3 have quietly been building up over the past few years, and the devs behind the popular PS3 emulator have just shared a massive update detailing a whole lot of recent compatibility gains in some of the best PS3 games.
RPCS3 Emulator’s Matchmaking Server Improvements
The RPCS3 devs have just uploaded a new video detailing recent compatibility updates for RPCN, the emulator’s matchmaking server. GalCiv, one of RPCS3’s lead developers, has been hard at work improving RPCN, allowing for many more PS3 games to be played online. Not only are more games supported, but we now support adding friends to your RPCN account and inviting them to matches similar to how it worked on PSN on a real PS3! Some games even have working leaderboards.
Enjoy Co-op in Metal Gear Solid HD Collection
The biggest standout among the recent compatibility gains is Peace Walker in the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. Now you can easily enjoy the co-op experience in this game through RPCN. Taking strong cues from Monster Hunter, Peace Walker offers bite-sized stealth missions and boss fights with extensive co-op support, which remains pretty unique to this day.
1-on-1 Matches in Fighting Games
RPCN now supports proper 1-on-1 matches in fighting games like Soul Calibur 5, Virtua Fighter 5, Tekken 6, and Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Get ready to test your skills against friends or other players online.
Classic Racing Games and More
There’s support for loads of classic racing games, allowing you to compete against other players online. Additionally, the original Demon’s Souls and even Minecraft have online play compatibility, opening up new multiplayer possibilities.
Community-Run Servers Keep PS3 Games Alive
Many of these games require community-run custom servers, as official PS3 servers are gradually being shut down. The dedicated fans behind RPCS3 and other emulators are ensuring that players can continue to enjoy online play in these games long after official support ends.
The Future of PS4 Emulation
The RPCS3 devs have recently turned their attention toward solving PS4 emulation, further expanding the possibilities for playing console games on PC.
