Gaming Red Dead Redemption 2 Firmware Requirement

onibaku · Oct 27, 2018

So I got Red Dead Redemption 2 (got it for a good price) and my ps4 is on fw 5.55 but I don't want to update past this due to the potential release of an exploit.

Could I run Red Dead 2 on 5.55? Otherwise I might just sell it.. Couldnt find any info on the firmware requirement..

Stick the disc in and try?

Ive kept the game sealed for now, it would be easier to sell. Thought I'd find out before unsealing it

And that one is the PSN version, not the disc version xD

I think I will just test it

Same rule apply for base game, disc or digital.

ah okay, thats a shame... well thx for the info, I will sell it then

Best bet is that pretty much any game coming out now is gonna need 6.0+ as a base game

5.55 probably isn't getting hacked any time soon either. I've heard it could be up to a year. It's up to you but I'd just update and enjoy it and if you can afford it buy another PS4 on 5.05 and hack it.

Hmm yeah ur right, Im actually considering whether I really need to have a hacked ps4..

Does the game actually need something from the system update or is spoofing possible like the wii u used to be?

I believe the main issue is that we cannot dump games requiring higher firmwares simply b/c they aren't exploited to allow us. Its different than ps3 or wii u b/c we weren't restricted in dumping games by firmware to make spoofing possible on lower firms

So did you test it? If it works it would be great.

So even if we use a lower PS4 FW as an entry point, we can't then upgrade to a higher version CFW like on the PS3 or spoof a higher version to boot newer games?

Nah, we don't have ps4 CFW yet. no way to spoof and no way to update without losing the entry-point. It's a "wait-and-hope" situation right now.

Is a dumper that force reads the disc not possible?

the games are encrypted using keys unique to those firmwares, and those keys haven't been cracked (more or less).
