Hackers from Fail0verflow claim that it will be very difficult for developers from Sony to close the discovered vulnerability using the new PS5 firmware. In addition, they do not disclose details, so it will be difficult to find the detected problem as well. However, at the moment, the hackers have not announced a complete hack of the PS5. Obtaining root keys is an important step along this path, but only one of the first. If they manage to hack the PlayStation 5, gamers will be able to flash their console and install pirated versions of games.
The next generation PlayStation 5 console was released in November 2023, but there is still a large shortage around the world due to the semiconductor crisis. Finding a PS5 on the free market is still very difficult.
