Your PS5 can now emulate PS2 games at up to 120 FPS, strings attached

What happened

This firmware was released in July 2026, so as long as you skipped the recent v14.xx updates, you can quite easily run homebrew apps and even a Nintendo Switch emulator on your PS5 . The new PS5SX2 v2.00 update brings frame generation and 8x scaling, but emulators on PS5 require a rather easy jailbreak.

The update comes on the back of the recent Relapse exploit that makes it fairly easy to jailbreak a PS5 as long as it is running firmware v13.60 or lower. The PS5 jailbreak community has seen a surge in activity this month, most of it riding the back of the new Relapse exploit , which allows any PlayStation 5 with firmware version 13.60 or earlier to be successfully jailbroken.
