On December 13, 2021, a post on Twitter suggested that the PlayStation 4 had completely broken. A trio of console hackers have released new software for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 4 Pro that runs on 9.00 and earlier. In other words; Running ‘Hombebrew’ apps and unauthorized copies of games has become possible for a very important number of PlayStation 4 owners.
PS4 Jailbreak can also affect PlayStation 5
The aforementioned jailbreak was called “pOOBs4”. PS4 Jailbreak requires a USB key with network access and a private file. When Specterdev, one of the PlayStation pirate developers, shared 9.00 firmware running on a PlayStation 4 version while it was running, there was the first hint that something was happening last night.
A few hours after the video was posted, Znullptr said the breakage was real and that the core breakage jaibreak used should work on the PlayStation 5. However, it is stated that a PlayStation 5 version has not been created, partly because the person described as the ‘leading developer’ does not yet have a PS5. This shared version is also thought to be available for PlayStation 5.
