PS5 Firmware 6.50 released. As always, think twice before updating.
PlayStation have pushed a new PS5 firmware update earlier today, version 6.50, or, more specifically, 22.02-06.50.00. This version brings support for the upcoming DualSense Edge (Sony’s high end, highly configurable version of the PS5 controller). Also, as always, the “improves system performance” generic message, that could mean anything from “minor changes nobody will see” to “we fixed a pretty major security issue”.
The DualSense edge hits retail on the 26th this month.
PS5 6.50 – What’s new?
From the official changelog
- The DualSense Edge wireless controller is now supported.
- This system software update improves system performance.
PS5 6.50 – Should I update?
As always, if your goal is to jailbreak your console, you should simply not update. The recent history of PlayStation hacking tells us so: people who keep their console up to date do not get the Jailbreaks.
Last year, a Kernel exploit for PS5 was released, that impacts consoles on firmware up to 4.51 (details here). Granted, progress to a full Jailbreak has been slow so far, with no particular announce or hints from hackers that a hack of the PS5 Hypervisor might be happening soon, if at all. Nonetheless, if you keep your console updated, you’re pretty much guaranteed to never get Jailbreak.
In an ideal world, you would have 2 consoles: one that you keep on a low firmware for a Jailbreak (or buy a low firmware one if you can find one), and one that you keep up to date in order to play your current gen games and access PlayStation online services. I know it’s easier said than done, but that’s how things are.
ps5 has no future haha
that controller in the picture is that a real one ? If yes can someone tell me what that is looks nice
That’s the DualSense edge mentioned in the article. It comes out to retail at the end of the month. Official Sony controller, “High end” PS5 controller, highly customizable.
Dual sense edge pro controller.
First (I think? Wololo’s moderation takes some time, made the mistake of assuming am in firstus place only to end up in thirdus place)
So in short if you are on 4.51 or lower you get to save your $200 coz no-one is going to update a jailbreak-able Ps5 to use a DualSense Edge.
Or just buy a Scuff @ $200 to $300, but Edge looks better than the Scuff imo, although Scuff has 4 paddles.
But am sure the community will come up with an exploit to support low firmware Ps5 to use Edge.
Oh, boy. A new controller. How about some new, exclusive PS5 games?
And what happened to the liquid metal controversy??
1st.
Agreed, $ony fan-boys say the liquid metal leaking is exaggerated,
but I’ve been watching the Cod3r’s playstation repair videos for entertainment since 2021 and he sure fixes alot of Ps5’s damaged by liquid metal spills causing shorts on the motherboard.
THey are coming, exclusive games take time to make. WHy dont you go and make one yourself?
We got spider-man 2,wolverine, several others to name!
how old is this console again?
Liquid thing was a crock
