PS5 Firmware 7.00 and PS4 Firmware 10.50 Released (Do not update!)
After a period of Beta test, the new Firmwares for PS4 and PS5 are out! It goes without saying, but if you’re hoping for a Jailbreak for your console, our advice is generally not to update, if you can afford to!
PS5 7.00 and PS4 10.50 – What’s new
PS5 Firmware 7.00 introduces some new Social features, in particular voice chat for Discord. It also includes some new gameplay options such as VRR support for 1440p, and, generally speaking, better 1440p support. 7.50 also has some new accessibility and quality of life features, such as improved screen reader, and better savedata migration from PS4 to PS5. Certainly, the latest PS5 Firmware update brings a lot to the table. (details on PlayStation blog).
PS4 Firmware 10.50, on the other hand, brings fewer features:
- You can now access verified apps from settings.
- The PlayStation app now shows active friends as online in the friends list.
- Unicode 15.0 emoji can now be displayed.
- In supported games, players from other platforms are now visible when playing the game.
And of course, under the hood, it is likely these firmwares fix bugs and patch potential security vulnerabilities.
PS5 7.00 and PS4 10.50 – Should you 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.
It is very likely that the Mast1c0re hack still runs on Firmwares PS5 7.00 and PS4 10.50 though (PS4 10.50 is confirmed to work, PS5 7.00 Still pending confirmation), but this is a good time to remind everyone that Mast1c0re is a usermode exploit. It is extremely fun to play around with it, but ultimately, for full control of the console, we need at the very least to couple it with a Kernel exploit. These exploits are few and far between, and the higher your firmware is, the lower your chance that a kernel exploit will work on your console (New firmwares include bug fixes, which tend to patch these exploits).
As always, the decision is yours, but updating, in general, lowers your chances of getting a Jailbreak down the line
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 it – tips for finding a low firmware PS5 /PS4), 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.
Yea, i was busy installing new hardware last night and in the middle both ps4 and ps5 got updates. Great timing…
I didnt look but nothing stood out as new so far.
But discord chat on ps4 is also needed.
ps4 is being phased out within 2 yeares, id doubt they are worried about putting discord on ps4 right now.
You always review my posts before making them live.
Why dont you review every post and set up a auto delete for “first” and “second” posts?
Now that would shrink the size of the forum and remove millions of useless posts.
Unfortunately spammers can be very sneaky (using different IPs and names, acting normally for a couple posts to get approved,…) and manually approving each comment (not only yours!) is the only system that works at the moment.
why not craft a special made checklinux or checkandroid
that boots directly with checkrain in to linux or android
i got no clue about pongos pongoterm or project-sandcastle
the thing is i only get into pongo-os and am clueless :p
I updated my system and while I’m playing games there is a blue screen that keeps popping up for a spit second the go back to my game I was playing. It’s like someone else is hitting the home button on the controller.
I have a PS4
Daniel does it only happen while you’re charging the controller? Many ps4 owners have relayed that they’ve encountered this same exact issue but that it only happens while their controller is charging and that it’s a result of a faulty cable being recognized by the new update. If that’s the case try switching out the charging cable to your controller and see if the problem persists! Good Luck! Keep me posted!
It might be your controller acting weird? I’ve had really weird behaviors at some point and that was the spring in my right trigger R2 that was broken.
What a dumb article. “Just have two ps5s so you can jailbreak one of them to play 6 games you would otherwise spend a collective 50 hours on, it’s a good investment I promise”
2 ps5s? My guy…
So this article isnfir people that have illegal stuff on there console. Yea cause that’s so worth getting paid to write about
.. smh
