The best console recomps and PC ports to play in 2026

These are the most popular console games you can play natively on PC through a recompilation, decompilation or source port. Every pick has a build out or player reports that it runs, and none of them is emulation: the game's code runs directly on your computer. Most of them are free, open-source projects, and you still need your own copy of the game.
