# DriveClub Recomp: running the PS4 game on Windows and Linux

> DriveClub Recomp runs the PS4 release of DriveClub 1.28 on Windows and Linux using the game's own x86-64 code. It reimplements PS4 system libraries, translates GPU commands to Vulkan and loads the update and base-game data from the player's dumps. Its online notes document lobby messages and service calls found in the game's eboot.
