Alleged PS5 Jailbreak Method Spikes Prices for Old Star Wars Game on eBay
Gizmodo••general
Key Points:
- The PlayStation 4 game Star Wars Racer Revenge has suddenly become highly valuable, with prices soaring on eBay, due to its role in a newly discovered PS5 jailbreak method rather than its entertainment value.
- This jailbreak exploits leaked PS5 ROM keys, which are fundamental to the console’s security and cannot be patched by Sony, making the leak a significant security issue.
- The Star Wars Racer Revenge disc acts as the first known entry point to use these keys, demonstrated by a developer injecting code into the game’s debugging console as proof of concept.
- While this development marks a critical step toward PS5 jailbreaking, experts caution that these ROM keys alone are insufficient for a full jailbreak, and significant additional work and vulnerabilities are required
