New PS5 Relapse Jailbreak Enables Homebrew and Switch Emulation

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A new jailbreak for the PlayStation 5, named Relapse, has been released, allowing users to run homebrew applications and emulate Nintendo Switch games. This jailbreak is compatible with consoles running firmware versions 7.00 through 13.60, including the PS5 Pro. However, its utility is limited by rapidly evolving firmware requirements, as some newer games and digital versions of titles like Marvel's Wolverine already demand firmware 14.00, which is not supported by Relapse. This creates a dilemma for users who must choose between playing the latest games or maintaining their jailbroken console. AI
