The PS5 has been jailbroken and cracked wide open marking the first major hack on the system since its launch back in 2020. While hackers have managed to infiltrate the console up to this point, none of them have been able to access the console's debug options and install custom packages until now.
Notorious hacker Lance McDonald posted a video of his newly jailbroken PS5 console on Twitter showing off some of the now-enabled settings. Most notably is the new ability to install custom packages. Other features include enabling developer options and even hidden dev cowtools while running games.
Of course, the most exciting part of the PS5 jailbreak comes at the end of the video where the hacker installs the infamous* Silent Hills P.T Demo* which was officially delisted from the PlayStation Store a few years ago. The hacker doesn't show the game launching but the fact that it can be installed is a huge step towards installing and playing games which are not officially licensed for the PS5.
This PS5 jailbreak marks quite a big step towards enabling homebrew on the console too. Both the PS3 and PS4 are currently jailbroken and can be used to install custom themes, games, emulators and even unofficial game patches including the Bloodborne 60FPS patch. The patch is something you can't install on your PS4 unless you have it jailbroken and hacked.
Sadly, the hacker didn't share any specific details on how the jailbreak took place. We don't know if it was a software or hardware-related loophole at this stage. He likely kept his process a secret to avoid Sony patching and fixing it almost instantly.
It is still too early to tell what will come from this exploit. However, apart from the piracy issues surrounding jailbroken PS5 consoles, the homebrew community might find ways to create unique apps and experiences on the console. In fact, this exploit might result in a way for users to emulate PS3 games on the console. Something Sony has failed to work on.

I sold my jailbroken switch, i just think jailbreaking is a waste of time at this point and nowadays its a loss too
And for big, stationary consoles, there really isn't much other point for homebrew development, just piracy. The only cool thing were Handhelds to hack with, and Valve already opened the door with that one.

I dont care because I'm not picky. I like said quirks actually, i played Minecraft for the first time in a while last weekend with some friends and the physics actually felt wrong, i love that there's no acceleration to moving while in the air
Mobs are also just mods, i think its fine

I have a ridiculously powerful PC I've almost never used. I bought myself a 3700X and 2060 telling myself that I'm totally gonna make use of the CUDA cores in the GPU with my hecking epic machine learning adventures and I'm gonna totally use the CPU. It's been 3 years and I play MGS5 and Quake.

Why don't you go back to the cave you came from, you primitive Neanderthal. Technology is light years ahead of anything you could possibly comprehend. Obviously you're just a big, dumb idiot.

What are your thoughts on the most recent league of legends pre season update?

I'm thinking that it's a load of garbage and that Riot is just trying to milk more money out of their players. They're always release new champions and skins that you have to pay for, and they're always making changes to the game that screw over the players who have been around for a while.

Why do you have to agree with everything? Do you have any original thoughts of your own?

Play boomer shooters, Minecraft, and games like Factorio and RimWorld. Most triple a games suck these days. It's the low/mid budget titles that you can put 100s of hours into that are actually fun.
