Since the PlayStation 5's release in late 2020, console hackers have attempted to gain complete access to the system by discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities, using software exploits to access features not normally available to consumers.

But on New Year's Eve, console hacking groups detonated another sort of explosive that could have massive consequences for the PlayStation 5 hacking scene, opening the door for permanent jailbreak, custom firmware, emulation, and much more.

Love to see it. Hopefully we see a homebrew and emulator scene. But the best outcome would be some general purpose Linux installations. It's just an x86 AMD CPU and GPU. Imagine if every PS5 could be a Steam Machine?
