It is reported that the PlayStation 5 host has been jailbroken to a certain extent, which may allow players to install unsigned or unofficial software (game). The news of

was released by mod Lance McDonald on Twitter, who had previously released an unofficial patch to allow Blood Source to run at 60 frames per second on PS4.

McDonald showed the jailbreak.

In addition to showing that jailbreak allows him to access the debug menu, he also showed that jailbreak allows him to install PS4 PKG files and proved this by installing the now-deleted PT demo.

At this stage, the jailbreak is said to be very limited - it only applies to firmware version 4.03 for PS5 hosts, which was released in October 2021 and was replaced by version 4.50 in December 2021.

According to the discoverer of the vulnerability, it may be possible to apply jailbreak to a PS5 host with a firmware version below 4.03, but subsequent firmware versions are not currently working. But even if the player has a gaming console with 4.03 firmware, it still only works around 30% of the time and usually requires multiple attempts to execute.

Even if players do this, what they can do at this stage will be strictly restricted. While the vulnerability is said to provide read/write access, it does not provide execution access. This means that although McDonald is able to install PT teaser on his PS5, he can't really run it yet.

considers the limitations of the so-called cracking and that it only works for a specific, year-old firmware version, but this does make progress in trying to bypass the PS5 security system anyway.
