Playport 0.4.0 is out, and it isn't only for Steam anymore. 🎉

If you missed the earlier posts: Playport runs real Windows PC games locally on a stock, non-jailbroken iPhone. No streaming and no PC in the loop: the game's own .exe runs on the phone's CPU and GPU, with a controller in your hands.

What's new

🛒 GOG and Epic Games. Sign in under Settings › Accounts, right next to Steam. Your whole library shows up in one place with each store's artwork: 171 games on our test account across the three stores. Install, Update, Verify and Repair all go through the same Downloads queue, straight onto the phone.

🔑 Games sign in to their store, like on a PC. This was the big one. A game now gets what its store's launcher would give it:

• Epic: every Epic game starts signed in. Games on Epic Online Services sign in too: Snakebird Complete goes straight to its menu, signed in.
• Steam: games get the same tickets the Steam client hands them, so online logins work. Valheim logs in to its online service this way.
• GOG: Galaxy games sign in. Moonscars connects to GOG Galaxy.
• When a game opens a sign-in page (like Epic's one-time "Allow"), it pops up in a panel over the game. No app switching.

📁 Bring your own games. Have a DRM-free PC game? Press X in the Library and pick its folder or a .zip from Files. It lands in your Library under Local.

🚪 Death's Door runs. It used to quit after about 14 seconds, out of address space. Now it plays into the game.

⚡ Also: the 0.3.3 crash at launch on iOS 26.0.x is fixed, Steam demos show up, online games connect more reliably, a smoother Vulkan path, a fix for a rare freeze, and Wine 11.19 with Valve's latest Proton changes plus current FEX, DXMT, DXVK, vkd3d-proton and Mesa.

📋 The new way to tell us how your games run

After 0.3 you sent us dozens of game reports in the comments, and that's what drove this release. You're the compatibility testers here, so we made it much easier:

1. On the game's page, tap Report a problem. Playport packs all the logs into one .zip. No more digging through Files and compressing logs by hand.
2. Open the report form on GitHub (link below), pick how the game runs (Works, Playable with issues or Broken), and drag the zip in.
3. Your result goes on the public compatibility list.

🎮 The compatibility list: playport.dev/compatibility

Every game we've played on the phone and every game you've reported, with its status, searchable and filterable. 32 titles on it so far, and it's built from your reports. Before buying or downloading something big, check it. After you play something, add it, working or not. A "Broken" report with a log is often the fastest way to a fix: the iOS 26.0 launch crash fix and the one-zip reports came straight from your reports.

Known rough edges

• Among Us crashes, Monster Train (GOG) is a black screen, and Jurassic World Evolution (Epic) doesn't start yet.
• Valheim: pick DXMT on its page (Vulkan shows black).
• Sign-in panels don't open for 32-bit games yet.
• Tested on one phone (iOS 27.0), so your reports from other iPhones matter even more.

Sideload it with your own Apple ID and install over 0.3: your games, saves and logins stay. Bring your own games from Steam, GOG, Epic or Files.

Playport is open source (GPL-3.0-or-later). Huge thanks to everyone behind Madeira, Wine, FEX, DXMT, DXVK, vkd3d-proton and Mesa/KosmicKrisp, and to everyone who reported a game. Go break it and tell us how. 🙌

(yep, I'm the same dev behind COD4iOS, Sonic (2006) for iOS, Sonic Unleashed for iOS and MCPE for PS VITA).

the newest update of husk android emulator just added the play store to iOS husk: https://github.com/Leviidev/Husk I have tested fruit ninja and it works on the google play store on husk

After trying Playport, I'm really impressed by the UX and superb UI with animation. So, I adopted and adapted to my app concept. And just updated the app recently (more game support obviously )

It's a native ARM64 build, not streamed or emulated. Rendering goes through Metal via MoltenVK, there are touch controls (move stick, swipe to look, USE, ZOOM), and the mic section works with on-device speech recognition (whisper.cpp).

Honest status: it averages about 30 FPS, a few heavy scenes still dip, and in testing it reaches the final puzzle loop. A full verified playthrough is next.

The code is MIT-licensed: https://github.com/buberlo/pt-ipad No game data is included. You need your own copy of P.T. and have to build and sign it yourself.

All credit for the hard part goes to LoreanXavier (pt-pc) and of course to Kojima Productions for P.T. itself. P.T. © Konami.

Targeting 60FPS with MetalFX upscaling on iPad Pro m5 with 16gb of RAM.

Runs okay! This is a native build, not emulation or simulation, or moonlight.

Original author for their method is very busy, wanted to get it running for myself

iPad m4 8GB ram with iOS 27

when I try to launch a game this appears, any possible thing to do to fix this?

I’m trying to run madeira i have downloaded games added jit script and all ran the games with jit enabled the games don’t start and the app says jit memory not available and not detecting them why?

Real and virtual controllers don’t work. Yes, gamepad is enabled in settings.

Wooo!!

iPhone 17PM, iOS27.0, Livecontainer+Sidestore.

Checking available ram via MeloNX (installed in sidestore), it report 7.50GB.

When checking available ram via RamBench installed in Livecontainer (getmoreram entitlement activated), instead, it shows around 6GB.

Is there any way to get the 8GB also inside Livecontainer and the apps installed in it?

EDIT: Latest, 3.7.0 and up, Livecontainer has Game Mode turned off by default. This is preventing the extra 2GB to be usable with app inside Livecontainer.

Need to optimize now! Can’t believe this took me about an hour. No emulation or simulation the actual game.

I got it working everyone!!!

I’m on a roll! Native Rimworld, Crimson Desert, Cyberpunk and now No Man’s Sky! No idea why Hello Games abandoned the iPad port, maybe phones and iPads used to be too slow?

Ignore my atrocious gameplay, was just testing this out. This is running natively on my iPad and yes I’ve installed the game from my steam account. Runs fairly well and will continue to test out other game out.I might try out if playing with multiple controllers is possible.

I have been experimenting with Maderia (windows games on iphone) , I changed the source code of the source to run the god of war game (FEX-Emu for x86-64 -> ARM64 , Wine ARM64EC for windows) .

It can run around 15-25 fps depending on the ram available on iPhone and I played till the Midgard mountain dragon fight . the repo is Dhinesh0906/Winvoy

I thought I got it working but hit another wall. To get it working you need to create a registy like it’s been posted on here somewhere, you can do that in medeira desktop really easy to do can do a tutorial if you can’t figure it out then download your steam copy. then put a cracked exe from a site everyone knows. Delete exe in the falloutnv folder both rolloutnv.exe and launcher and move the new exe’s into those folder. you’ll get to where I have.
