New PS5 jailbreak unlocks consoles up to firmware 13.60

A jailbreak called Relapse has been released for the PlayStation 5, allowing users to run homebrew software and emulators on consoles with firmware versions 7.00 through 13.60. This covers nearly every standard and Pro model that hasn't been updated in the last week, providing kernel-level access. The jailbreak relies on browser and kernel exploits, but updating the firmware will block the exploit. The development is drawing attention from homebrew and emulation communities.

Why it mattersJailbreaking current PS5 models potentially enables widespread homebrew development and emulation but raises concerns for digital security, software piracy, and Sony's platform integrity. Decisions by users regarding firmware updates now have broader implications for software access and device control.
