About Bloodborne Guide
An independent site about running Bloodborne on a PC, sourced from the projects themselves.

Bloodborne Guide is an independent site about running Bloodborne on a PC. It is not affiliated with Sony Interactive Entertainment, FromSoftware, or any of the community projects it covers, and it is not an official wiki.
What it covers, and why
Bloodborne has no PC version and never had one. In October 2026 four separate community projects made it playable on a PC anyway: the shadPS4 emulator, and the native ports bbport, its Windows sibling, and bbhost. That is a narrow, fast-moving, badly documented corner of the internet — releases land weekly, install steps change, and the useful information lives scattered across repository READMEs and release notes.
This site collects exactly that into something you can follow in order: what each project is, what your machine needs, how to install it, how to make it run well, and what to do when it does not.
How pages are written
Every technical claim here comes from a first-party source, and there are only two kinds:
- The official record — PlayStation's own game page and store listing, for anything about
Bloodborne itself: its release date, publisher, platforms and how it is sold.
- The projects' own repositories — README files, release notes, and their own documentation
folders. Version numbers, install steps, requirements, default key binds and known issues are taken from there and nowhere else, because for these projects the repository is the authority.
Where a project publishes a measurement — a frame rate on a named card, a memory figure after a set number of areas, a shader count — the page says which project measured it and on what. Those are measurements on specific hardware, not promises about yours.
Where something is not documented by the projects, it is not written here. A mods page that lists things the projects never shipped would be a worse page, not a longer one.
Dates and revisions
Every page carries the date it was last checked against its sources, and a footer showing the version of the game the site is written against. Releases here are frequent — the Windows port shipped four versions between 15 and 18 October 2026 — so a page older than a week is worth re-checking against the project's releases before you trust its version numbers.
Corrections
If a page is wrong, fixing it is the point. Send the URL, the line, and what you see instead; a screenshot or the exact wording from a log is ideal. The contact page has the details and the address.

Imagery
All game artwork on this site is official Bloodborne promotional material published by PlayStation — key art, store screenshots and preview frames — used to identify the game and to illustrate the text. It remains the property of its rights holders, and each page credits the source beneath the image. No third-party screenshots are re-hosted here, and no game files are hosted here in any form.
