Could you build this?

No Porting a closed-source, proprietary PlayStation 4 exclusive title to PC requires either complete source-code access and deep platform refactoring, or a specialized PS4 emulator (like ShadPS4) with custom shader translation and hardware emulation. Both paths require world-class systems engineering and graphics low-level architecture experience.

What it would actually take: A project like this requires a PS4 runtime emulator or translation layer written in C++ with a Vulkan backend. The major bottlenecks involve reverse engineering the proprietary GNM/GNMX graphics APIs, recompiling or JIT-compiling AMD Jaguar x86-64 code while mapping PS4-specific OS system calls (FreeBSD-derived Orbis OS), and emulating custom audio and memory management. This demands a team of seasoned low-level graphics and emulator developers.
