​

PlayStation 5 homebrew scene modder @LightningMods_ has shown the first commercial PS5 games running on their jailbroken console with console firmware version 4.03.

As seen in the above Tweet, Grand Theft Auto III – The Definitive Edition has been shown to boot successfully on their modified console. They have also shown The Matrix Awakens: An Unreal Engine 5 Experience booting but have explicitly stated that this required a "crack" to do so, but further details are unknown at this time.

Currently only PlayStation 5 consoles that are on firmware version 4.51 or lower are susceptible to the current jailbreak methods.

We will be following this news and will keep you updated with developments as they happen.

Forbidden west I think

Forbidden West come in mind, so probably that.

It's a gamble with a Forbidden West bundle because they also shipped with 5.xx.

The problem with the ps4 vs PS5 was the increased hyper visor security. You needed to break it to be able to play games.

So it wasn't as easy as just one exploit but multiple

This PS5 method doesn’t mess with HV at all.

Depending on when it was manufacture, if you got the first batch you probably be able to get 4.50.

How wide spread are PS5s above this firmware anyway?

Any recent stock will be around 7.xx.

I started a guide over here:

https://gbatemp.net/threads/ps5-exploit-guide.613891/page-68#post-10219296

But it’s massively dependent on date it was released, so it’s 99% useless to try buy from a new retailer these days.

Look for old stock, unopened, and try use the guide above.

Naturally. But a lot of places aren't going to provide that info. If a person can get it, I'd recommend nothing later than March 2022 to be safe, as I've seen reports of May 2022 being 5.xx. Still a gamble though as 5.00 was released in March 2022.

Neat

Afaik the dump is repacked with some system files, and I’m guessing some custom hooks via Itemzflow/hen.

We shall see soon

I want to see native PS5 games like Astros Playroom booted and working before I get super excited about this, not PS4-PS5 upgrade games like GTA3.

Depend on what batch it is from, I know there are two batch, one from Jan to March 2022, and one batch from June 2022, the June 2022 is 5.1 and the March 2022 is 4.5

April and May can have 5.xx also. I personally wouldn't risk anything from March and on unless the seller can confirm the FW version.

There is no April or May Horizon bundle

A person must have to pay a fortune to get any console on a low firmware at this point. Fk that.

I guess it’s time to finally start finding a second ps5

What’s the best hassle free way to find one in the states nowadays ?

eBay. Pay an exorbitant amount

The only games to pirate on PS5 are PS4 games

What is the source of that image? I've seen a report of Horizon bundle with a May 2022 mfg date that had 5.02.
