GPCS4 PS4 Emulator for PC by Inori Runs We Are Doomed PSN Game!
While not actually playable yet, developer Inori (InoriAsuka on Twitter) announced the GPCS4 PS4 emulator for PC now supports the commercial PSN game We Are Doomed which boots and runs noting that there's currently no optimizations at all and the FPS is very low at the moment. 
Download: GPCS4 (Latest Build) / GPCS4-master.zip / GIT
This comes following the Nucleus PS3 / PS4 PC Emulator, Orbital PS4 Emulator, Spine PS4 Emulator and a PS4 Compatibility Layer Uplift for Orbis on Windows.
Below are some demonstration videos from Asuka Langley's YouTube Channel, with a dedicated GPCS4 Discord Channel for continued development and from the ReadMe.md: GPCS4
A PlayStation 4 emulator just begin.
A project for fun, and technical research.
The only reason I start this project is learning 3D graphics, nothing serious.
Latest progress
First commercial game support, We are Doomed. Thanks for our developers. It's not playable now, since the FPS is very low, because there's no optimizations at all currently.
GPCS4 will recompile all shaders, untiling all textures and upload all buffers every frame, making it less efficient. Besides, there're still some problems on game pad emulation. Will improve these things step by step.
First correct image rendered, although this is a 2D image demo, it's actuall rendered in 3D pipeline. There're still some hardcode test code, but with more design, and most important, this time with our shader translator, no hand...

Sony Reveals New PlayStation Now Games for February 2020
Topping off the new PlayStation Now games for February are The Evil Within, LEGO Worlds and Cities: Skylines for PS Now digital subscribers to enjoy.
Below are further details straight from PlayStation Now Senior Marketing Manager Brian Dunn, to quote:
Starting today, PS Now subscribers can enjoy The Evil Within, Lego Worlds, and Cities: Skylines, which will be available to stream and download on PS Now. These titles will join the PlayStation Now library of more than 800 PS4, PS3, and PS2 games in all.
Developed by Shinji Mikami and the talented team at Tango Gameworks, The Evil Within embodies the meaning of pure survival horror. Highly-crafted environments, horrifying anxiety, and an intricate story are combined to create an immersive world that will bring you to the height of tension.
With limited resources at your disposal, you’ll fight for survival and experience profound fear in this perfect blend of horror and action. (Available to download (PS4 system only) and stream.)
Lego Worlds is an open environment of procedurally-generated Worlds made entirely of Lego bricks which you can freely manipulate and dynamically populate with Lego models.
Create anything you can imagine one brick at a time, or use large-scale landscaping tools and pre-fabricated structures customize any world to your liking. Explore using helicopters, dragons, motorbikes or even gorillas. In Lego Worlds, anything is possible! (Available to download (PS4 system only) and stream through August 4, 2020.)
In Cities: Skylines, build the city of your dreams and watch it flourish. Bring on a smog-filled industrial revolution or create a quiet beach town ideal for tourists powered by renewable energy. As the mayor of your city, you’ll be faced with balancing essential requirements and helping the economy thrive. (Available to download (PS4 system only) and stream)
If you haven’t tried PlayStation Now yet, now's the perfect time to give it a spin with the 7-day free trial for PS4 and PC. We reset the trial in January, so anyone not subscribed or not in a trial on or after January 16 can try the service and the latest additions for seven days, even if you previously had a paid or trial subscription...
