Relapse Exploit

A newly published exploit for Sony's PlayStation 5, dubbed 'Relapse', has been released on GitHub, drawing attention on Hacker News and among console-hacking communities. The release suggests researchers are still finding ways around the console's security, even as firmware updates close previous loopholes. Gamers and developers are debating what it means for homebrew and jailbreak prospects.

A new jailbreak exploit for the PlayStation 5 has been made public, shared on GitHub under the name Relapse. If it works as claimed, it would let users run unsigned code on Sony's console, a milestone given the PS5 has resisted jailbreaks far longer than earlier PlayStations. Hackers and modders are discussing what firmware versions it affects and what homebrew it could enable.
