New PS5 Relapse jailbreak enables homebrew and Switch emulation but is hamstrung by rapidly-changing firmware revisions

What happened

A new PS5 jailbreak has been released with support for all PlayStation 5 consoles running firmware 7.00 through 13.60, meaning all consoles that haven't been updated within the last week or so are compatible. A new jailbreak provides support for firmware 7.00 through 13.60, including on the PS5 Pro.

That contains the latest PS5 Pro console, too. The new jailbreak, called Relapse , operates with browser and kernel exploits to unlock kernel read and write access, including support for additional payloads like the homebrew enabler etaHEN.

However, while support for consoles all the way up to firmware 13.60 opens the door to more jailbreakers than ever before, the free-for-all might be short-lived. As VideoCardz reports, some games are already requiring the latest 14.00 firmware in order to download updates.
