Hackable PS5
Hackable PS5 units aren’t exactly super exciting for end users yet, but expectation is progressively building up in the scene. I’m seeing a growing trend of people trying to get their hands on a hackable PS5 model, and, having bought one myself recently, I feel an updated buying guide is long overdue.

TLDR
If you already know the whole shenanigans, here’s the TLDR summary:
You’re looking for a PS5 with Firmware 4.51 or lower, ideally 2.xx if possible. Major retailers don’t sell those anymore, so you want to buy second-hand (eBay or equivalent).
Hunt for either a “new in box” Launch Edition PS5 or “new in box” CFI-10xx (CFI-10xx are what you’re looking for, CFI-11xx are risky, CFI-12xx are no go),
or
Look for a used PS5 console where the seller can explicitly confirm the firmware. Sometimes searching for the exact firmware, e.g. PS5 4.03 can yield results. Always double check!!!
PS5 Streaming:
“We’re excited to unveil PS5 cloud streaming,” reads the email from Sony, confirming players can now test cloud streaming PS5 titles.
Users on ResetEra have shared screenshots of them trying out the feature and shown that games can be streamed up to 4K resolution. User ArashiGames posted screenshots of God of War Ragnarök streaming at 2160p and claimed they didn’t run into any issues. As a comparison, Xbox Cloud Gaming currently only offers streaming up to 1080p and 60FPS.
PS5 cloud streaming is undoubtedly part of Sony’s “quite aggressive plans” to claim a stake in the cloud gaming sector. Ironically, its current lack of presence within cloud gaming partly caused the UK Competition and Markets Authority to block the Microsoft Activision Blizzard acquisition deal, the only regulatory body to do so.
