Lance MacDonald, the mod known mainly by the series community soulsrevealed that PlayStation 5 It has been opened.
In a similar way to what happens with Unlock PS4You must be on an older firmware – in this case, version 4.03. As PS5 adopts a new numbering type for updates (02.22-06.00.00 Being the latter), we do not know exactly this firmware. Newer firmware will not work with this unlock because it happens via a Webkit exploit.
Also, despite the opening, it is quite unstable. According to the source posted by Lance McDonald, there are problems about 70% of the time. It is also important to note that it is not possible to execute code, and unlocking at the moment only allows reading and writing.
Anyway, this News serves as curiosity and information. We do not recommend modifying your PS5 or installing software other than the official software provided by Sony..
Modernization: There is information that this exploit was discovered some time ago and hackers circulated it to Sony itself to get some form of reward. For this reason, the latest console firmware does not contain this vulnerability. This means that the unlock works on older firmware, but you don’t have to worry about the PS5 running pirated games or multiplayer servers with cheats.
This is beautiful.
