The Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 Can Now Run PSP Games
A tech-savvy Redditor has proven that the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5 is more than just a fitness tracker and notification centre – it’s a surprisingly capable gaming device.
ZenonDesingk, the intrepid user, managed to get classic games like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and God of War running smoothly on the smartwatch. They achieved this by sideloading emulators and games onto the device using ADB and the Bugjaeger app.
This is just a regular smartwatch? No.

Despite its age, the Galaxy Watch 5 proved surprisingly powerful, running PSP emulators at a smooth 60 frames per second. Even more demanding titles like God of War still managed a respectable 30 FPS.
ZenonDesingk further enhanced the gaming experience by connecting a Bluetooth gamepad to the watch, improving control and accuracy significantly.
This impressive feat demonstrates the hidden potential of the Galaxy Watch 5 and highlights the power of Android’s open-source nature. While not intended for gaming, the smartwatch’s hardware, combined with community ingenuity, can deliver a surprising level of gaming performance.
Colour me impressed.
