A modder has reportedly gained limited access to the PlayStation<\/a> 5’s Debug Menu by jailbreaking the console using a new exploit. While the actions of jailbreaking allowed the modder to briefly install games unavailable for the console or the system itself, it can result in owners receiving bans from utilizing the PlayStation Network.<\/p>\n

The news broke out overnight as it adds to the growing concerns for its parent company, Sony Interactive Entertainment, over the hardware security measures. In addition, Sony is facing mounting criticisms over its PlayStation Stars loyalty program following claims<\/a> that higher-ranked members will be “prioritized” when it relates to customer support.<\/p>\n

The news, which Tom Henderson first reported<\/a>, revealed footage of the jailbreak in action by modder Lance McDonald who posted it to Twitter.<\/p>\n
