I disagree. I would love to turn my ps5 into a steam machine. There are barely any ps5 exclusives anyways (that might change). However, this hack only works with launch ps5s without updates. So basically unicorns.

    Bringus Studios will be pissed when he finds out about it

    Context: his channel focuses on running various Linux distributions on obscure hardware, like a receipt printer. He bought a PS5 with launch firmware, specifically to jailbreak it and run SteamOS/Bazzite/etc. in the future, and stored it in a rented storage unit which got robbed, and that PS5 got stolen alongside of it.

    Well Sony recently announced they're not going to do PC ports anymore for some reason, so there will be more PS exclusives coming down the line.

    If the hacking community has taught me anything, it's that hackers will always find a way....but sometimes it takes some time.

    Lets revisit this in a year.
