PS5 jailbreaks escalate across firmware v7.00 to v13.60, putting pressure on Sony

PS5 jailbreaking has accelerated sharply over the past week, with a new jailbreak working on firmware v7.00 through v13.60; v13.60 shipped in July, so most consoles not on the latest system software are affected. Using AI tools, modders have installed emulators ranging from Switch to the original Xbox on the console, though performance is patchy, while PC emulation of PS5 is also advancing and several exclusives such as Demon's Souls can now run on PC. The rush has also driven up used hardware prices, with GameStop charging up to $1,500 for a used PS5 Pro.
