    Too many words, title should be, “PS5 slammed by hacking scene”.

      I was just saying how I wouldn’t even pirate that game. It’s sad because I’m a huge Wolverine fan, but it looks like a trash game.

      Loved all three Insomniac Spider-Man games. Platinum’s all three, but I’m not shelling out $70 for Wolverine.

      Are the most interesting PS5 exclusives to me.

    I’m on firmware 13.6 but almost updated a week ago.

    Now I just have to prevent my 9 year old son from updating it when playing Roblox and it might one day become my Linux gaming PC instead of buying a pre-built when prices go down.

    Let’s hope the new exploit helps the PS5 Linux scene.

          I’m not rooting for Roblox but hés playing some interesting games on it and it now lead him to try some management games on Steam now.

          I have a way better feeling about Roblox than about Fortnite where he used his allowance to get skins and other stuff.

          I’m not saying you don’t have predators and stupid games on Roblox, but it’s not just this.

          Probably still easier to just adjust the DNS settings to block Sony servers. Do this under your network DNS setting on your ps5.

      The modded warfare YouTube channel has a tutorial on how to block updates on any firmware.

      You’ll probably want to bookmark his channel if you’re planning on hacking your PS5.

    Suddenly glad I’ve had no desire to play ps5 in ages.

    I should look and see if theres better options for ps4, as well, since mine is currently in need of repair anyway…

    Edit: I’m confused as to why this is getting downvoted? I don’t care about internet points, but I do care about being misunderstood. I’m glad because mine should be out of date enough to use this hack, and I should look to see if there’s a similar one for ps4 as long as it needs repair anyway?

      …it seems someone took it as a personal insult that you haven’t wanted to play PS5 games for an indeterminate time period prior to the hack.

      Sometimes the internet just be that way.

      You could look into who down voted you and ask them. Could be quite interesting.

    This sounds really fucking cool! Sadly I have no idea how to use / do any of it. What do I need to learn to be able to implement something like this?

      Not much TBH, it requires blocking Sony servers using DNS (stoping automatic updates). Then visting a specific website to load the exploits.

      After the exploit is loaded your can install any custom packages as you like.
