You can now play some major games on RISC-V systems running Linux, thanks to the felix86 emulator that’s really coming along. I covered the felix86 project initially here on GamingOnLinux back in May.
With RISC-V slowly and steadily growing in the background, it’s great to see projects like this for gaming on more hardware. One of the developers emailed in to note they’ve “made quite a bit of progress since May” and that “Now, felix86 can run Windows titles like Crysis and Witcher 3 on RISC-V”. Additionally, “we even got the Linux Steam client working, which means games that have Steam DRM can be played on RISC-V with felix86”.
They sent along a screenshot of Steam running on their RISC-V board too:
The latest release from June 30th implemented a lot of what was missing to get to this stage, which they covered in a fresh blog post.
Amazing work by all the developers involved.
