PS4 4.70 firmware update released
Sony have released PS4 firmware 4.70 a few hours ago. It is unknown what changes this firmware brings, but it could be patching some vulnerabilities.
PS4 Firmware 4.70 brings the typical stability improvement that is usually synonymous with vulnerability patches. However, so far tinkerers have yet to publicly confirm if this update impacts any work in progress of the hacking scene.
“improves the quality of the system performance.”
At the time of writing, the update just made it to the official PS4 page.
Some reddit users have mentioned that the update brings slightly different logos for various Playstation brands such as PS Plus.
As always, if you run a hacked PS4, or hope to run a hacked PS4 at some point in the future, it is recommended to stay on as low a firmware as you possibly can. Hacker Qwertyoruiop claims he has a PS4 Kernel exploit that works up to firmware 4.55. The exploit has not been released though, and the developer has not commented yet if his hack is impacted by this firmware update. Of course, this firmware update 4.70 is required to access the PS4 online features, so you’ll have a choice to make. (As far as I’m concerned, I now have a second PS4 for gaming, and an original one waiting for a public 4.0x hack release)

first
Fart
The scene will come soon.
Soon to Ps6.
arent you jumping ahead abit much lol PS 6 lol i think they’ll call the next one PSone lols
When hack for ps vita 3.65???? Pleaseeee
You’re in for a long wait. Hackers are still working on 3.60, and there’s no cool features unique to 3.65 to motivate the scene to move onto it.
it won’t happen nub if it happen then it will take decades as they say 5 to 10 years
They’re not focusing on hacking any firmware above 3.60, the focus right now is to play games that require 3.60+ on 3.60.
I’m not sure why Sony even bothers with the ‘stability’ updates. It’s been nearly 5 years and the console is still basically unhacked. You won’t find CFW or backups anywhere, and I doubt you ever will unless someone from the inside decides to leak something like with PS3.
It’s hacked, but not on any recent firmware. It is a good question, though, as to why Sony puts out stability updates anymore. Everyone who is keen to the hacking scene will abstain from updating, and the people who do update likely have no interest in hacking.

This is where you are totally wrong, everytime a new kernel exploit gets released for ANY console and then later patched there is always thousands of people updating their devices right away and then asking how to hack them.
Have seen hundreds of comments of people asking for HENkaku 3.63/3.65 let alone 3DS where we have had countless kernel exploits released and yet there is still people asking how to hack the newest firmware everyday…
it is not even 4 years old (3 years and 6 months.
people keep on hoping for hack on ps4. there’s not even a hack for ps3 slim after all these years.
Hackers see no point. older PS3s are hacked. whats the point of making one for the newer ***? sony will just patch and youll be back to square 1.
This
Iam curious, what happen when your ps4 in 4.55 success hacked from trick Qwertyoruiop ? free games ?
There has been a kernel exploit for 1.76 for like 2 years already and there is no “free games” on that firmware…
Having a new kernel exploit released at this point won’t make an iso loader appear magically.
For those not following his twitter, this update patched the primitive QWERETY was using for his exploit.
His actual exploit remains unpatched (this means no release for those who can’t read).
In English, this simply means he had to find a new primitive, (or entry point if you will) to trigger his actual 0-day.
He also further mentioned his reasoning for holding onto this and not releasing (though I think it’s only part of the reason personally): Allowing the library of games grow while the exploit is still valid.
This patch according to him, is likely because when he was first testing things out, he believes he accidentally let a crash log slip out to Sony.
That being said, if you are researching possible vulrns, make sure you have the device set to not send crash logs to Sony, or just pull the device offline entirely.
