Sony has started rolling out PS4 firmware 6.80 preview
Sony have started sending emails with activation codes for a preview of PS4 firmware 6.80. People who are part of the preview can share the activation code with up to 20 friends.
Firmware 6.80 includes the following updates:
- Increased maximum Party participants from 8 to 16
- Improved audio quality for voice chat
- Chat transcription feature added and improved accessibility features
- Improved network connectivity
Sony mention that if you are part of the preview program, you will not be able to join parties from your friends who are not part of the program, and vice versa. But you can send those preview invites to friends, or downgrade from the 6.80 preview back to your previous firmware.
As a reminder, if you are interested in joining the PS4 preview and beta program, you can register on the official playstation site here.
On the other hand, if you’re interested in hacking your PS4 (and it’s not jailbroken already), we advise to stay on as low a firmware as you possibly can.
Still yet no kernel exploit.
Kernel exploit will not come before PS5. After 2020 released new exploit > 5.50. Because hackers are egoist! 5.50 kernel exploit available but not published. I’m not saying that. Thay say. Funny!
Who are the real egoists? The people who want to steal games right now and complain when something gets patched or the hackers who want their work to reach as many people as possible in the near future?
Maybe you can hack this firmware to allow downgrade to a hacked firmware?
jailbreakers have to release all they have to take e-fame otherwise it will be all obsolete if PS5 will be out same like Hen for PS3 now…
I just want that sony allow the remote play for any Android without the need of altering the apk….
This gen went to waste almost.
no new exploits on xbox or ps4.
heck xbox one has yet to see backup games.
Times have changed since i started gaming back in the retro NES days. Now it seems everything has gone online or is focused on social media. I play games to transition and to have some peace of mind from all the social drama.
Exactly. And even single player games are all bundled with social stuff… Ugh
So if I take my 5.05 and update to 6.80, can I play some games on it and then downgrade back to 5.05 my previous firmware?? cause that would be awesome.
So you can downgrade from preview 6.80 back to previous firmware.
Perhaps this is a useful feature that can be ported to other firmwares too?
