GoKawiilDeveloper builds PSBox app to run Xbox Cloud Gaming natively on jailbroken PS5
Brazilian developer RafaelNGP, using Claude to help build the project, released a homebrew app called PSBox Cloud Gaming on GitHub that lets Xbox Cloud Gaming run natively on a jailbroken PS5, with up to four DualSense controllers mapped as Xbox controllers. The tool supports 1080p60 streaming upscaled to 4K via the PS5's GPU, and after a Reddit request, Rafael added support for local Xbox Remote Play as well.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The project adds to a growing wave of jailbreak homebrew that repurposes PS5 hardware for functions Sony never intended, following earlier efforts like original Xbox emulation on PS5. Such mods could suggest that console jailbreaking communities are increasingly focused on cross-platform streaming and service access rather than just piracy or emulation, though reported bugs like macroblocking and controller vibration issues show the software remains unpolished.
- PSBox Cloud Gaming lets jailbroken PS5s natively run Xbox Cloud Gaming with mapped DualSense controllers.
- The app was partly built using Claude and is available for download on GitHub.
- An update added local Xbox Remote Play support after a user request, though some video and controller bugs persist.
Sony DualSense Wireless Controller — Since this mod maps up to four DualSense controllers for Xbox Cloud Gaming compatibility, having extra controllers on hand is essential for local multiplayer or couch co-op sessions. It's the standard, officially supported controller for any PS5, jailbroken or not.
