RPCS3 is a PlayStation 3 emulator for Android, developed by the same team that once released the popular versions for Windows and Mac. The compatibility list of this adaptation of the emulator for mobile devices is not as extensive as the desktop version, but as you might expect, it is regularly updated.
Install PS3 firmware and play
You will first need to configure the emulator before you use RPCS3. As with the Windows version, the process is relatively long, although it is not that complicated if you follow the steps to the letter. On the emulator's official website you will find a step-by-step guide on how to correctly install the console's firmware and how to configure the app. Again, this process can take ten minutes or so, but once completed you can play any PS3 title on Android.
Support for USB and Bluetooth controllers
Using a USB or Bluetooth controller is essential to be able to play comfortably on RPCS3. After all, the vast majority of PS3 games involve a number of buttons in addition to the two sticks, so managing all these buttons on a touchscreen is very cumbersome. In the earliest versions of the emulator, in fact, the app crashes a lot when trying to use the touch controls. Fortunately, the app is compatible with Dual Shock 3, Dual Shock 4 and Dual Shock 5.
Differences between RPCS3 on Android and Windows
The main difference between the PC and mobile versions of the emulator is that the PC version has been in development for many years. RPCS3 has been fully functional on Windows since 2017. This is reflected in its extensive compatibility list and the number of getting started guides and other help available. Gradually, the Android version will get the same level of support as the Windows version, but it is a slow process.
The king of PS3 emulation, now on Android
Download the RPCS3 APK if you want to play PlayStation 3 games on your Android device. Thanks to this emulator you can enjoy some of the best titles from Sony's third console, wherever you are. As mentioned above, the compatibility list of this Android version is growing with every new version, so it is possible that some games may not work correctly or at all.
