PS5 Jailbreak Tool 'Relapse' Released as Sony Argues Users Don't Own Digital Games

A new PS5 jailbreak exploit chain, Relapse, has been released on GitHub, supporting firmware versions 7.00 through 13.60. The tool gained significant traction, accumulating over 1,400 stars within two weeks. Concurrently, Sony Interactive Entertainment argued in a California federal court filing that digital game purchasers acquire revocable licenses rather than ownership, citing instances where users bought the same game twice. The jailbreak is not persistent and is rendered ineffective by firmware updates, reinforcing the platform's control over the console.
