True to its name, this project turns your PS5 into a Linux PC, which will allow you to install Steam.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_L\">\n<p>According to the developers, this hack works by exploiting a hypervisor vulnerability patched in the system, which gives the OS access to the console&#8217;s eight CPU cores clocked at 3.5GHz and the GPU at 2.23GHz. It should provide enough performance to run Steam games and power a variety of emulators. Additionally, this project supports HDMI 4K60 video and audio output, and the M.2 SSD can be used as a dedicated Linux partition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_L\">\n<p>However, there are some caveats to be aware of. First of all, the project only supports the original PS5 model, also known colloquially as the &#8220;PS5 Phat&#8221;. The second caveat is that your PS5 must be running on 3.xx or 4.xx firmware:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>3.00, 3.10, 3.20, 3.21, without M.2 support<\/li>\n<li>4.00, 4.02, 4.03, 4.50, 4.51 with M.2 support<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The developers are keeping the doors open for 1.xx and 2.xx firmware. They are also considering adding 5.xx firmware in the future, but this option would require Linux to be run on a virtual machine, which would limit the features available.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_Cc e_L\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
