When we previously reported on the soft mod that enables Linux to run on the Sony PlayStation 5, it was limited to very early firmware versions, limiting its appeal to those who were likely already modding their consoles. Thanks to a new update documented on the project’s GitHub page, PS5-Linux-loader now has support for PlayStation 5 consoles up to firmware version 6.02. Granted, this is still a very old firmware version, dating back all the way to October 2022. Still, this is beyond what the developer, Andy Nguyen, had initially promised. <\/p>\n

Like the previous higher firmware versions, Linux supports the internal M.2 slot with firmware version 5.00, 5.02, 5.10, 5.50, 6.00, and 6.02 although. In addition to the newer firmware versions, the PS5 Linux project now also has working drivers for the built-in WLAN chip, making using Linux on the PS5 a lot less of a hassle. The developer notes in the GitHub repo that loading Linux on the more recent firmware versions requires use of a different exploit and that there is no chance that newer firmware versions will be supported in the future, “so don’t ask.”<\/p>\n
