GoKawiilNew 'Relapse' exploit jailbreaks most PS5 firmware versions, runs pirated games
Security researchers have released an exploit called Relapse that jailbreaks the PlayStation 5 across nearly every firmware version except the newly released 14.00.00. Hackers say jailbroken consoles can already run recent titles like Marvel's Wolverine and The Witcher III Remastered without payment, and can install homebrew software in under a minute.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Because most retail PS5 and PS5 Pro units still run vulnerable firmware, the exploit's reach could be unusually wide, potentially exposing Sony to significant piracy losses. The timing—arriving so soon after Sony patched its latest firmware—suggests the company will likely need to respond quickly with further security updates, though how it will do so is not yet stated.
