A security engineer successfully hacked Linux onto a PS5, essentially turning it into a PC capable of running GTA V Enhanced Edition at 60 FPS on 1440p with ray tracing. By exploiting older firmware and gaining kernel-level control, the engineer overcame Sony's hypervisor restrictions. While GPU acceleration is still a work in progress, the modded console demonstrates impressive performance and functionality, showcasing the potential for running a variety of applications. This project hints at the possibilities of upcoming Steam Machines, which will offer similar performance and run SteamOS based on Linux, providing a glimpse into a future where consoles can be more versatile computing devices.
