Play DuckStation on PC or Mac

From the innovators and creators at Stenzek, DuckStation is another fun addition to the World of Arcade games. Go beyond your mobile screen and play it bigger and better on your PC or Mac. An immersive experience awaits you.

About the Game

DuckStation is an awesome arcade game developed by Stenzek, offering a seamless emulation experience of the Sony PlayStation(TM) console world. You’ll need a ROM image from your own console, but once you’re in, expect fast and accurate gameplay. Enjoy classic PSX games at full speed while exploring features like widescreen rendering and turbo mode.

Game Features

  • Rendering Options: Choose from OpenGL, Vulkan, and software rendering. Upscale graphics, apply texture filtering, and enjoy true color in supported games.

  • Visual Enhancements: Experience widescreen rendering (no weird stretching!) and employ PGXP for improved geometry, texture correction, and depth buffer emulation.

  • Gameplay Flexibility: Set per-game settings and manage controller mappings with ease, including up to 8 controllers using a multitap. Enjoy turbo speeds and 60fps where available.

  • Save and Achievements: Utilize save states with screenshots, edit memory cards, and earn RetroAchievements. There’s even a built-in patch code database for all your tweaking needs.

  • Performance & Compatibility: Compatible with both 32-bit/64-bit ARM and 64-bit x86 devices, though a more powerful CPU is recommended for smooth performance.

Note: Legal ROMs required for gameplay; unsupported formats must be re-dumped. DuckStation and PlayStation are not affiliated.
