No. It's a native build of the game's code for PC (a decompilation, static recompilation or native port), so it runs like a PC game.

AbdelmoumenDeghbouche, who made the WipEout Omega Collection PC port, has released knack_pc, an unofficial native port of Knack (PS4, 2013) for Windows 10/11 and Linux. As with the Bloodborne PC port it is modelled on, the game's own x86-64 code runs directly on your PC's processor, a runtime stands in for the PS4's system libraries, and the shadPS4 video core translates the graphics to Vulkan. There is no CPU emulator. The creator reports the first chapters playing from start to end at up to 120 fps, with fights, super moves, story videos, music, sound and saves; later chapters aren't tested yet. v0.1.4 landed on 26 October, the third release in two days. The tested dump is the US version (CUSA00068) with update 1.10; the EU versions are listed but untested. The Linux AppImage builds in CI but nobody has played it on Linux yet.
