Long-lost horror gaming cult classic P.T. gets a much-needed PC port

What happened

Long-lost horror gaming cult classic P.T. gets a much-needed PC port, according to Ars Technica. Kojima's discontinued "playable trailer" is no longer stuck on a few aging PS4 hard drives. —the long-discontinued "playable trailer" for Kojima's canceled "Silent Hills" project —has been via one of the increasingly rare PlayStation 4s that previously downloaded a copy during its monthslong availability window.

Now, though, one coder is helping to preserve the game with a porting tool that builds a playable x86 PC executable from the original PS4 files. Coder Lorean Xavier said he was inspired to work on the "P.T. for PC" project "because P.T. deserved to keep existing somewhere other than on consoles that still have it installed."

The open source porting effort rebuilds the P.T. That means players without their own legitimate decrypted copy of the original P.T.
