The shadPS4 emulator has made significant progress in running the racing game Driveclub on PC, achieving nearly full playability and supporting 60 frames per second (FPS). A recent demonstration by YouTube content creator ‘talhaONE’ showcased the emulator's performance on a high-end setup, where it delivered a smooth 60FPS experience, a notable improvement from the previous 38FPS. The original PS4 version of Driveclub is capped at 30FPS, prompting gamers to seek emulation for enhanced performance.

Optimism exists that Driveclub will be fully playable on shadPS4 by the end of summer 2025, ahead of initial predictions. Other PS4-exclusive titles like God of War III Remastered and The Order 1886 are also potential candidates for emulation enhancements.
