“To be clear, GTA V Enhanced Edition, the game Andy tested on this, is natively available on PS5 as well, but where’s the fun in that? Under the hood, the PS5 is essentially a locked-down x86-based PC that’s very similar in architecture to a modern computer. If Sony’s hypervisor weren’t in place, you could probably boot Linux directly on it. In fact, Sony used to allow that back in the early PS3 days as “OtherOS.””
I’m not sure if this is being mentioned for people that may not know this or because they didn’t know this. I thought it was public knowledge that they went with the same architecture that PC’s use since the ps4. Innovation is dead and this was the easiest cheapest route for them. It’s funny to mention the PS3 can load Linux since that was not the same architecture so it really doesn’t compare. If anything i thought it was a special build for it to work on the PS3?
We need the opposite though. PC emulation of exclusive PS5 games.
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.

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.
I hope they figure out a way to do it with the Xboxes, now that I can play Halo MCC on my SteamDeck my series S is collecting dust. Would love to make it a steam machine
…huh. I wonder if I would be happier with this. I barely use my PS5, but I’ve sunk a lot of money into games.

Who knows on what firmware it is.
I want this!
