A new jailbreak has emerged that unlocks PS5 consoles running firmware versions 7.00 to 13.60, including the relatively recent July release. Modders have reportedly used AI tools to get various emulators, from Switch to original Xbox, running on jailbroken consoles, while separate efforts are enabling PC emulation of PS5 exclusives like Demon's Souls. Newer titles such as Marvel's Wolverine require firmware beyond v13.60 and remain unaffected.
