Why You Probably Won’t Want To Jailbreak Your PS5
There are a few caveats to this particular PS5 jailbreak that might make it not worth the initial effort, though. For starters, it only works on systems that use firmware version 4.03 released in October 2021 or earlier versions; the current firmware is already up to 6.0. On top of that, this particular jailbreak method isn’t a guarantee even if you do have 4.03 installed, and based on reports thus far, only works sometimes.
Even with the somewhat stringent requirements and spotty success rate, it’s still worth attempting, right? Well, no, not really. Beyond the limitations, risks of an account ban for modding, and the potential to outright ruin your console if things don’t go well, it turns out that once you jailbreak the PS5 there isn’t much new that you can actually do with it.
For the time being, at least, about all you can do is access the console’s debug menu and (possibly) install games without going through the PlayStation Store. Granted, that second bit sounds promising, but there’s a problem with that: jailbroken or not, your PS5 won’t run sideloaded software. So no using ROMs, games, third-party storefronts, or other unofficial programs on your PS5 yet. At least for now.
