PS4 Linux Game Compatibility List with terminal commands & detailed instructions

PS4 Linux game compatibility list with the best Wine and Proton commands; detailed instructions to run Windows and emulated games on PS4 Linux.

Having trouble running a Windows game on your PS4 Linux distro? Worry not! Here is a detailed database of Windows games running on PS4 Linux along with the best Wine and Proton commands to run Windows games on PS4 Linux. As said, this will also act as the Windows games compatibility list for PS4 Linux.

Running the latest Windows games and even some ancient ones can be a bit of headache. In most cases, Steam with its inbuilt Proton Play enables you to play the desire games on a Linux distro. Unfortunately, due to the lack of hardware support on PS4 running Linux, many of these steps might not work on a PS4 Linux distro. Sometimes, a custom script might be required, like Custom Mesa while some others require huge swap space. What I am trying to say is that, each game requires a different set of modifications for it to run on PS4 Linux.

Given below is a list of these games with the best known command to run them on PS4 Linux. Alongside each game, you will also find the additional details with links to detailed tutorials to help everyone play the game.

We have also provided a search bar so that you can search for the game. Remember that the search bar can also search in the other columns. You may also click on the table headings to change the sorting order. Enjoy!

  1. You can run Quake 3 arena with vulkan, just download somewhere gog version and google quake 3 vulkan, copy the vulkan exe and run the exe, not the shourtcut on your desktop (shortcuts someway don’t work), don’t run it with double click mouse but right click and wine loader.

  2. Using your GTA IV comand on SteamOS game works, but it’s not smooth like in your video on Nobara, not much fps here. Any tips?
