PS5 Jailbreak Exploit For Systems Running July 2026 Firmware
Kotaku • • technology
Key Points:
- A new "Relapse" jailbreak exploit for the PlayStation 5 has been discovered, affecting all firmware versions except the latest 14.00.00 update released less than two weeks ago.
- This exploit is significant because many retail PS5 units, including PS5 Pros, sold before the latest firmware update remain vulnerable.
- Modern PS5 games typically require the latest firmware to run, complicating piracy efforts, but games released before the 14.00.00 update, such as Marvel’s Wolverine, could be compromised using this exploit.
- The "Relapse" jailbreak can reportedly be executed in under a minute, posing a serious threat to Sony's platform security and anti-piracy measures.
