What happened
GamesRadar+ reports on a rumor surrounding a potential PS5 jailbreak, which could have significant implications for the upcoming release of GTA 6. According to the publication, a prominent member of the PS5 hacking scene, known as Gezine, claims to have discovered an exploit that can jailbreak PS5s on the latest 14.10 console firmware. However, it is noted that the current exploits do not allow for the piracy of GTA 6. The hacker has demonstrated access to the console's debug menu on firmware version 14.10, but has not released the method to the public. This development has raised concerns about the potential for piracy of GTA 6, which is set to be released next month.
Why it matters for GTA 6 players
The potential for a PS5 jailbreak and subsequent piracy of GTA 6 could have significant consequences for Sony and Rockstar, including lost sales and damage to their reputation. The fact that Gezine has not released the exploit to the public suggests that the piracy of GTA 6 is not yet possible, but the rapid pace of PS5 exploits raises concerns about the likelihood of piracy in the near future.
What remains unclear
The exact nature of the exploit discovered by Gezine and whether it will be released to the public remains unclear. Additionally, it is uncertain what firmware GTA 6 will require and whether Sony will be able to patch the exploit before the game's release.
