Mihawk Says PS5 Proton Homebrew Is Coming Soon; No Public Build Yet

PS5 homebrew developer Mihawk says PP (PS5 Proton) is growing into Mihawk OS, a Windows 11-style environment intended to run Windows games on a jailbroken console through Proton. In the developer’s [October 10 X video](https://x.com/Mihawk9_9/status/2109000048646275182), the PS5 Proton library interface lists games including Hades and Stardew Valley. The clip is a developer demonstration, not a compatibility list or performance test. Mihawk says the plan is to support both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows games, with a Linux compatibility layer also planned. Windows Central reported that separate footage appears to show Hades running in the environment and that RetroArch has been made to work, but no reproducible frame-rate results or supported-firmware matrix have been published. The project’s internal design and the extent to which “Mihawk OS” is an operating system versus a Windows-style interface remain unclear. I could not find a public PP/Mihawk OS repository or release download. Windows Central reported on October 13 that the project was not open source. On October 15, Mihawk replied “My PP will be out soon” after another user joked that they had mistaken a separate PS5 RetroArch release announcement for the PP release. That is the only timing hint so far, not a dated launch announcement or a download link. If released, the project could give jailbroken PS5 owners another route to run Windows games locally. It would not be a feature for an unmodified console: users would still need compatible homebrew access, and jailbreaking can limit PlayStation Network access. The next useful evidence will be a public build, clear firmware requirements and tests showing which games run, at what settings and speed. [Windows Central’s report](https://www.windowscentral.com/gaming/mihawk-os-homebrew-windows-games-on-ps5) describes the project’s current limits. The developer’s [October 15 reply on X](https://x.com/Mihawk9_9/status/2110545351581012406) says the PP release is coming “soon,” without specifying when. ~ps5scene ~gaming
