Nguyen didn’t share the PS5s / the debug settings, and said he didn’t intend to disclose how he accessed it in the moment. There are no plans for disclosure. No ETA. Andy Nguyen (@theflow0) November 7, 2021 Nguyens discovery comes just under one year after the launch of the PlayStation 5 last November. By comparison, the PlayStation 4 came to a halt in 2013, and the consoles security had to be reduced for about two years. Sony hasn’t commented on the newly discovered security crack yet. Overriding a consoles security is generally done with the intent to load unofficial content onto a game system. While this practice is commonly associated with piracy, it can also be done to transform consoles into emulation machines. The Xbox Series X/S. The PS5s, which will presumably allow owners to let developer users load free software with their consoles. The PlayStation 5 does not offer any such option at this time. Nguyen is a prominent figure in the PlayStation modding scene; in part, his creation of a homebrew that replaces the LiveArea dashboard for the PlayStation Vita with features like a file manager, a package installer and more.
