The PS5 jailbreak on firmware 13.60 is the current frontier of PlayStation 5 hacking. In this complete guide you'll find out how the PS5 mod works, which firmware versions it supports, what it lets you do and how to order the professional service.
What is the PS5 mod (PS5 Jailbreak)?
The PS5 mod, also known as PS5 Jailbreak or Homebrew Enabler, is a software procedure that unlocks your console, allowing you to:
- Run homebrew (unofficial applications)
- Launch backups of original games
- Install emulators (PS1, PS2, NES, SNES, Mega Drive and others)
- Modify save files and system themes
- Block firmware updates (Update Blocker)
Important: the PS5 jailbreak is a non-permanent software mod. It must be re-activated every time the console is started, via the browser or a BD-JB disc.
Which PS5 firmware versions are compatible?
At the time of writing (2026), the PS5 mod is compatible with the following firmware versions:
- Firmware 1.00 to 4.51: full jailbreak with the IPV6 exploit (Byepervisor + Mast1c0re)
- Firmware 4.03, 4.50, 4.51: stable PPPwn payloads
- Firmware 5.00 to 7.61: jailbreak via WebKit + kernel exploit (varies by build)
- Firmware 8.00 - 10.01: Umtx exploit + BD-JB payload
- Firmware up to 13.60: latest public exploit (new WebKit exploit)
If your PS5 has already updated beyond firmware 13.60, you'll have to wait for a new exploit to be released. That's why it's essential to block automatic updates before bringing your console in for service.

DIY PS5 jailbreak: is it possible?
There are guides online for jailbreaking a PS5 yourself (e.g. with the BD-JB Auto Jailbreak disc), but the procedure requires:
- Advanced technical knowledge
- Suitable equipment (PC with FTP, USB cable, payload server)
- Experience in handling exact firmware versions
A mistake can leave the console bricked (unusable). That's why we always recommend relying on professionals.
PS5 jailbreak FAQ
Is the PS5 mod permanent?
No, the PS5 mod is not permanent: it must be activated every time the console starts. Each time you turn the PS5 off and on again, you'll need to re-activate the jailbreak via the browser or a BD-JB disc.
Can I still play online?
No, you can't play online on PlayStation Network with a modded PS5. To play online, you need to not activate the mod at startup or use a second, unmodded console.
How much does the PS5 jailbreak cost?
The PS5 jailbreak service starts from €69.99, warranty included.
Can I remove the mod?
Yes, just restart the console: since the mod is software-based and not permanent, it is removed automatically on reboot. The PS5 immediately returns to its original state.
