A full year on since we last tested the ShadPS4 emulator, Bloodborne's optimisation has come along leaps and bounds with new features helping to smooth out a 60FPS (and higher) experience on a desktop PC. Most standout of all though is the emulator's ability to run on a handheld system - like the ROG Xbox Ally X - where it's possible to hit 60fps, albeit with some hitches. Tom digs into the state of Bloodborne's emulation today, and also returns to its impressive mod scene.
