Release notes and older versions · Source code

This is an early release, so expect some rough edges. Check the known issues.

What you need

  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit.
  • A graphics card that supports Vulkan. We don't know the minimum yet, so if yours struggles, tell us which card it is.
  • Your own copy of LittleBigPlanet 3 for PS4: the US release (CUSA00473), updated to version 1.28.
  • A controller or a keyboard. The mouse doesn't work in this release.
  • For 60 FPS: any card for FSR 3.1, or a GeForce RTX 40 or 50 series for DLSS.
LBPPC doesn't include any game files, and we can't help anyone get them.

Good to know

  • Windows may warn you. LBPPC isn't signed yet, so the first time you open it Windows can say it "protected your PC". Click More info, then Run anyway.
  • The first launch takes longer. When you first press Play, LBPPC prepares your copy of the game. After that it starts straight away.
  • The first time you see something new, it may hitch while the game builds its shaders. It gets smoother as you play.
  • Archived levels download as you play them, so the first load of an old level can take a moment.

Installing

  1. Unzip LBPPC into a folder of its own, anywhere except Program Files: your saves and settings are kept inside that folder, and Windows doesn't let programs write in Program Files.
  2. Open LBPPC.exe, click Browse and pick your game's folder (the one with eboot.bin in it).
  3. Make an account under Online if you want to play online, then press Play.

The full setup guide goes through each step, the controls, and what to do if something goes wrong.

Updating

Unzip the new version into a new folder, then copy the user folder across from your old one. That holds your saves, your settings and your saved sign-in. If you changed your controls, copy input.ini too.

New versions are announced in the Discord.

Uninstalling

Delete the LBPPC folder. Nothing is installed anywhere else. Your saves are in its user folder, so keep a copy of that if you might come back.

To delete your online account as well, see the privacy page.
