Someone Finally Jailbroke the PS5—Just After Sony Said Players Don’t Own Their Games
Relapse is a public PS5 jailbreak that works on firmware 7.00 through 13.60 using a DNS change and a browser-based exploit. After setting the console’s primary DNS to 45.56.67.85 and opening the User Guide, users load the exploit page to trigger a chain that enables payloads through an ELF loader. That allows homebrew apps and potentially game backups. The jailbreak is free and open-source on GitHub under the MIT license, but it is tethered, so it stops working after a reboot and must be run again. The process may require several attempts and can cause hangs, crashes, data loss, or account bans. Piracy concerns are immediate, though the repo says it is for educational and security research only. Consoles on firmware 14.00 are not supported.
