If we review the history of video games, it is difficult to find a console that has been free of security vulnerabilities. Some, of course, have been more used than others. With the current generation it was not going to be the exception and, apparently, the PS5 would have already been hacked to allow, in the future, the installation of customized software, as stated VGC.
During the weekend, the mud Lance McDonald, well known for having released an unofficial patch to enable 60 FPS on Bloodborneposted a video showing the alleged jailbreak from PS5
In the published material you can see the execution of a debugging menu (debug) from which it is possible to access features that are not available in the official version of the system. In fact, the menu has an option to download and install custom software, although it still doesn’t work optimally.
According to information from Wolo
What can be done with it jailbreak of the PS5? As mentioned above, it is still in its infancy. The first major limitation is that not yet possible to execute custom code. Therefore, it is still too early to talk about homebrew. McDonald himself claims that he managed to load the demo of PTbut could not execute it.
Another issue to keep in mind is that the exploit does not have the desired stability. In fact, its creators say that there is a 30% success chance when trying to run it for the first time. If you fail, you have to do the procedure several times until you succeed.
Although we are facing a jailbreak Quite limited in functions, the real objective of those responsible is that other curious people get involved in exploiting the vulnerability. Have no doubt that, over time, the interest in this proposal will open the door to more possibilities, for better or worse… Sony, for its part, will keep an eye on this situation so that it does not harm them greatly.
