Xenoblade Chronicles — PS5 Recomp Port

Xenoblade Chronicles Comes to PS5 Homebrew!

I'm excited to introduce my latest project: Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition — PS5 Recomp Port!

This project brings Xenoblade Chronicles to the PS5 through native static recompilation, built around the Monado project.

After working on projects like GTA IV PS5 and Kong³, I wanted to challenge myself with something different, and I'm really happy with how this one is turning out!

✨ Features & Progress

  • 🎮 Native PS5 Gameplay — Xenoblade Chronicles running natively through a recompilation-based port.
  • ⚡ 60 FPS Target — Approximately 60 FPS achieved during testing in the opening battle at 1080p internal resolution.
  • 🖥️ Custom Launcher — A simple, controller-friendly menu for preparing, launching, and configuring the game.
  • 🎨 Graphics Settings — Adjustable resolutions, AMD FSR 1 upscaling, SMAA anti-aliasing, V-Sync, and additional visual settings.
  • 🎮 DualSense Support — PlayStation button prompts and controller mappings.
  • 💾 Saving & Loading — Save and load functionality confirmed during testing.
  • 🎬 Opening Cutscene Support — Opening movie playback and transition into gameplay tested.
  • 📦 Game Preparation — Support for preparing your own base game and supported 2.0.0 update files.

⚠️ Current Status

This project is still experimental and under development.

Native gameplay has been successfully tested on my PS5, but the entire campaign has not yet been verified.

Some areas may experience performance drops, shader compilation stutter, or other issues.

📋 Requirements for a Future Playable Release

  • A PS5 capable of running native homebrew.
  • Your own legally obtained Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition game files.
  • The supported version 2.0.0 update.
  • Required keys dumped from your own console.
  • Additional storage for preparing the game.

No game files, copyrighted game assets, or decryption keys are provided.

❤️ Credits & Thanks

Huge thanks to the Monado contributors, Peiikai (LASRecomp), and everyone involved in the PS5 homebrew community whose work helped make this project possible.

This is an unofficial homebrew project and is not affiliated with Nintendo, Monolith Soft, or Sony.

🦍 A Personal Message

I genuinely enjoy experimenting with these ports and learning something new with each project.

Seeing Xenoblade Chronicles running on my PS5 has been another exciting experience, and I'm looking forward to improving it further.

There's still work to be done, but I'm proud of the progress so far.

Thanks to everyone who's been supporting my projects!
