Copies of games released since early 2017, which require more recent firmware, can't be run using this method, but all older PS4 titles appear to run without much issue after running through this hacking gauntlet.

For compatible consoles, though, the kernel-level exploit allows for pretty much full control of the system, including the running of unsigned code.Įxploit in hand, the hacking community has quickly gotten to work on a "package creator"-which recompiles homebrew and decrypted PS4 software into a form that will be accepted by an unlocked PS4-and a "homebrew enabler"-which adds a PS4 settings menu option to download and install such code packages directly to a PS4. That firmware was patched (and automatically updated on many systems) in late 2016, and there's currently no known way to downgrade an updated system to the older firmware, which limits the range of consoles that can run the exploit.

While hackers managed to install Linux on the PS4 years ago, the biggest breakthrough in the PS4 hacking scene came late last month, when two different teams of hackers released a WebKit exploit for version 4.05 of the PS4 firmware. In a somewhat more surprising discovery, those hackers have also unlocked the ability to run many PS2 games directly on the console, using the same system-level emulation that powers legitimate PlayStation Classics downloads.
