Jailbreak users showcase PS4s with thousands of installed games
The folks over at psxhax have reported an interesting “trend” of PS4 Jailbreak users showcasing their consoles with thousands of installed games.
If you felt bad for pirating a music album (wait, are those still a thing?) or using your sister’s Netflix account, wait until you see the videos these guys have for you.
In the most recent one, dated from last week, youtube user Canal Tecniqueza showcases a PS4 with approximately 1200 games installed.
A 23TB PS4 Pro with 2001 Games/apps installed
“Weak”, replies twitter user grabman, who then proceeds to up the ante with a PS4 pro containing 2001 apps installed (1994 of which are games), on a total of 23TB storage spread across his internal and external hard drives! (A video that dates back to June this year)

PS4 reaches performance limits with thousands of games installed
With that kind of number, Grabman mentions that he can clearly see where the code for both the PS4 system as well as various community-provided tools (such as HEN, etc…) is properly optimized or not. Some actions on the console take a while before the console is responsive again.
He also notes that there is a hard limit of 1000 games per disk, set at the system level by Sony. A limit which no reasonable human can actually hit? I mean, who could actually play 2000 PS4 games? But installing 2000 fpkgs on a Jailbroken PS4 for science, yeah, I can see the motivation behind that kind of record 🙂
Independently on your opinion of piracy*, it’s pretty hypnotizing to see how long it takes these men of science to just browse their entire libraries.
Personally I think I’m getting close to 250 legit games, most of which come from my PS+ Subcription. Of course, they’re not all installed on my console, ha!
What about you, what’s your number?

*We at wololo.net really don’t recommend you download and install pirated games on a Jailbroken PS4. Beyond the ethics of piracy, you’re also putting your computer and console at risk by installing packages of doubtful origins. But hey… your body, your choice.
first
You definitely weren’t her first.
How does he have quantum of solace when it was only released on PS3 / 360?
I’m calling ***…
Simple it was also on PS2 and that is a PS2 Classic he made. Wasn’t only 360/PS3 it was also NDS, PS2, Wii & PC.
Bro. It’s called PS Now have you even looked at the ps store? Hundreds of games that are “ps3 games” are on there now.
*** off with that anti piracy disclaimer you actively encourage it with jailbreak news and such *** hypocritic sack of ***
Why are you here then if you’re against priacy??
I don’t think you have to be a pirate to prefer your console to be jailbreaked. For some, it’s about making your console do stuff it normally wouldn’t be able to. Also you shouldn’t encourage it even if you were pro-piracy. You know, for legal reasons.
Wow why the harsh attitude? You can be mad all you want but it’s not gonna change anything. Get with the times dude where companies don’t let you own your own games and hardware anymore. The whole world had to b***** at Sony for the battery bomb problem. Sony was the first company to allow homebrew and now they go against it for some reason. I think that’s why they get busted open all the time.
Kind of agree with you. Big note saying they dont recommend doing it but show news on it. Nombre vato. Get that *** of the screen, you looking like a ***.
They kind of have to. It avoids backlash on people pointing blame saying so and so is a source of misinformation when they aren’t. Also, as people have said here, Jailbreaking doesn’t equal piracy but piracy does equal jailbreaking. I have a 3DS that I can play every main series pokemon game on it. Does it mean I’ve pirated every game? NOPE, I actually own every single game and I’ve ripped them myself. This article is more about breaking the barrier of how many games installed on a system than it is about piracy. They could easily have copied and pasted an app, say, YouTube and tweaked it to have a different bundle ID to demonstrate the same point. But which article would you want to click on, “Jailbreak users showcase PS4s with thousands of installed games” or “Jailbreak users showcase PS4s with thousands of copies of YouTube installed”?
I’m not against Wololo existing and being anti-piracy, but… creating pieces about privacy when you have such a position is questionable at best.
I love pirate but thats to much games i only do like 10 at max then get bored of gaming
I was planning to do this, but I don’t know where they even get that many games.
They are so scattered around and inconsistent. Some are on Reddit, some on torrent sites, some on blog posts or independent sites. A lot of which have no seeders or are dead links.
If I knew how to get them consistently, I’d definitely fill up my 5TB external and do the same thing.
I have a few hundred PS4 games installed. Bought and PS+ and some disc-only games. I have a 4TB SSD in my PS4 Pro and a 5TB USB.
You guys are weird for sayin “first”. Its annoying!
This should be a Guinness World Record
