Once a console has been around long enough, someone is bound to jailbreak it.
And in October 2022, a modder finally released the PlayStation 5 from its “prison.”
For example, a famous hacker by the name of Lance McDonald managed to install P.T.
(the incredible teaser for Silent Hills) on his console.
While this seems pretty cool on the surface, there are several reasons why you shouldnt jailbreak your PS5.
Since a jailbroken console is outdated, you cant log on to the PlayStation internet.
And you cant buy digital games or download the ones you already own.
Furthermore, you’ve got the option to’t update the ones youve already installed.
Jailbreaking your PS5 makes that impossible since it cannot connect to the PlayStation data pipe (PSN).
What’s worse is that you wont even get a refund for any of them.
You will have to create another PSN account and start all over again.
In other cases, Sony can ban your PlayStation 5 console instead.
The only option to fix a permanently bricked PS5 is to get another one.
We certainly think it is not.
