Metroid Prime PC port: quick answers

Do I need to own Metroid Prime?
Yes. MetroidPrimePort needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
Is the Metroid Prime PC port finished?
It is in beta: playable, with known issues. Its last update was Oct 2026, and the latest release is v0.27.0.
Which systems does it run on?
Windows and Linux.
Is it an emulator?
No. MetroidPrimePort rebuilds the game's source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.

Leaving PlayPorted

You're opening a third-party site

  • PlayPorted doesn't run or check this site, and hasn't verified the software it offers. Download and run it at your own risk.
  • You need your own copy of the game. Legitimate projects never give you the game files.
  • If the site looks wrong or hands out game files, report the link and we'll look into it.
