PS4 / XBox One hacks: TRSI announces Warez is getting close
Update: we have been contacted by some members of TRSI who stated that TRSI has not been involved with Warez for years and is now just a demo group. They said these warez releases (and therefore the statements in the nfo files) have nothing to do with TRSI. We keep the original article below for reference.
Popular warez group TRSI announced in one of their Vita releases today that “its” [sic] getting close, talking about PS4 and Xbox One pirate iso releases.
Warez group TRSI promises PS4 piracy is “getting close”
TRSI has been one of the most long standing and popular warez/demo groups, operating for more than 25 years, since the early nineties. Although they are not necessarily the people behind the actual hacks or exploits that would enable piracy on the PS4, such a statement from that group carries some significant weight.
The statement was inserted in the NFO file of a PS Vita warez release. The section about the PS4 and XB1 states:
| EVERYONE wants to know about PS4/X1 - ALL I CAN SAY IS, ITS GETTING | | CLOSE / HOPEFULLY IT WILL STAY in the wild people.. The back surge | | of ps4 *** is going to be insane.. speaking of we through out that | | World of Final Fatasy ISO PS4 just to get the systems setup / kick | | the tires..
A few things to infer from that statement: 1) PS4 seems to be much more convincingly cracked open than XBox One in there. 2) There is a concern that the hack allowing these might get patched if discovered.
Point number 2 is interesting here. People are speculating if this piracy method would work on PS4 firmware 1.76, or 3.xx, or even the latest 4.0x firmwares in light of the recent PS4 Jailbreak announcement (keeping in mind that no release is actually planned on 4.01, and nobody so far has stepped up to release anything that might have been patched after chaitin tech announced they would disclosed their exploits to Sony).
From our perspective, piracy on the PS4 is not interesting without the possibility to run our own unsigned code (homebrews). It remains to be seen if a technique that enables piracy on the device would open doors for Homebrews enthusiasts.
The PS4 and Xbox One have so far been mostly shielded from widespread piracy issues, if you ignore the odd and geographically “contained” Brazilian “jailbreak” on PS4 older firmwares, or Indonesian hack on Xbox One.

Team Xecuter was recently asked if there were any updates on the XB1 front. As many familiar with TX will know, their products are typically oriented toward allowing homebrew. This is what TX had to say (as of about a month ago):
“Nothing yet that we can safely report on, things are moving along slowly, but progress is being made, sadly with the Xbox One S there needs to be more new work done again, since this will be model Microsoft going to be stocking from now on, production on the first Xbox One is over. As soon as there is some news we can report on without fear of leaking out something and having Microsoft close the loophole, then we will publish it on our frontpage.”
Seems they’re gearing up to release something though– there’s been lots of promises of updates to be rolled out on their forums. This includes (and is not limited to) restoration of a working downloads section.
if cfw comes out, would it be available on ps4 slim?
If ps4 cfw comes out, would it be available for slim and fat or only for the standard (fat)?
I guess that depends if there’s an exploit released for 3.55+. I’m not sure about the smallest firmware slims were shipped with but mine came with 3.55. I don’t think slims could be downgraded (if at all possible in the future) to a firmware older than the version the first slims were shipped with. That is why I believe for a slim to have anything like homebrew / cfw / piracy you would need an exploit for firmwares 3.55 or bigger.
When I say exploit I mean kernel exploit. If I remember correctly there already is a userland exploit (webkit) for 3.55.
Just watched a video of Flatz installing a pkg file game on a PS4. The rifle file just needs editing. PS4 hack is looking good 🙂
Just hope the decypted games and pkg installer are out soon
