RPCS3 is only officially supported on modern operating systems such as Windows 10, Windows 11, Linux, macOS and FreeBSD. We offer a final build for legacy operating systems, but please be aware that this will be the final official build that will work on a legacy operating system.
For Windows users, simply extract the compressed file using any decompression software that supports .7z.
Once uncompressed, place your RPCS3 folder in a convenient location to start, such as: C:\Users\Kratos\RPCS3\rpcs3.exe
Download dependencies Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable
For Linux users, RPCS3 is packaged using the AppImage format. To run, execute chmod a+x ./rpcs3-*_linux64.AppImage && ./rpcs3-*_linux64.AppImage
Download AppImage using CLI wget --content-disposition https://rpcs3.net/latest-linux-x64 or curl -JLO https://rpcs3.net/latest-linux-x64
Compile on Arch using AUR git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rpcs3-git.git && cd rpcs3-git && makepkg -sri
For macOS users, simply open the downloaded .7z file and drag and drop the RPCS3.app file into the Applications folder.
Hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard and double click the binary to open it for the first time. This is required as RPCS3 is an unsigned application, and this step adds it to the exception list.
Once installed, your RPCS3 application support directory will be found in: ~/Library/Application Support/rpcs3/
For FreeBSD users, RPCS3 supports actively supported FreeBSD versions.
Install as a package pkg install rpcs3
Compile using ports cd /usr/ports/emulators/rpcs3/ && make install clean
