PS5 Piracy Protection Has Been Hacked

In recent months, we have seen more and more people speak negatively about Sony’s actions. We can think of a PS5 price increase of a thousand crowns, a remake of The Last of Us, an attempt to block the acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft due to fears of losing Call of Duty, a greater emphasis on live service games (up to 12 of them should be launched by the end of March 2026). !) or releasing games at full price, even if Xbox lists them for subscription on the day of release.

Now another problem is brewing. Modder Lance McDonald (known for modding Bloodborne) bragged on Twitter. jailbreak for PlayStation 5. So this is a violation of the anti-piracy protection of the console, allowing access to the debug menu and the installation of illegal software, including games.

jailbreak should be very limitedonly works on PS5 with firmware version 4.03, which was released last October and replaced by version 4.50 in December of the same year.

At the moment it is not a threat, but later it can become a big problem. Assuming it could be turned into newer versions of the console system and didn’t take multiple launch attempts (it’s said to be “stable” about 30% of the time).

The modder shows it in PT teaser installation, which is no longer available for download on the PS Store. However, even PT cannot be run on PS5 with jailbreak yet.

Let’s add that jailbreak illegalí and its “installation” will void the warranty. When you connect to the Internet from such a console, you will receive a ban.
