News/Article The PS5 system itself is running on pc

Recently, we have seen massive developments in PS5 emulators (such as shadPS4 and Kyty), and how rapidly they have progressed in a short period.

​Now, developers have successfully booted the actual PS5 system software on PC.

​If this momentum continues in the future, it will eventually allow players to run PS5 exclusives directly on PC, marking the end of the era of console exclusivity.

Hopefully this pushes Rockstar to release the fucking game on PC on launch day. Like jesus christ.

They release on consoles first because they are locked down and shark card buyers are guaranteed where as PC users will have people shooting money at them day 1 meaning not as many players will buy shark cards

u/Revolver_Boxelot 8d ago

There's no release date for the next GTA Online yet. And every GTA game was released on console first. It couldn't possibly be about shark cards.

It's about the tripledip. First you release oncurrent gen machines, then next gen and finally pc.

Triple dip is a drop in the bucket compared to shark cards. GTA Online weekly revenue is US$ 6.63M on PS5/Xbox Series consoles combined and a meager US$ 264k on PC according to the leaked data from early this year.

Those numbers pretty much explain Zelnick's interview to bloomberg where he mentioned VI is launching on consoles first because that's where their core audience is. It's all about prioritizing that recurring revenue.

Hey, thats just a step 1. a).

u/Wookieewomble 2d ago

The tripple dipping is free money on top of the shark cards.

u/Consistent-Sundae739 8d ago

Yes thats also a large factor, they know once the PC build is out its game over for them with the rise of coding AI the game will be decompiled and modded day one

u/ShivamLH Laptop 8d ago

Yeah. It's double dip and anti-piracy primarily.

2

u/Unique_Ad9943 8d ago

They should still bring it forward current rumours of a year long delay is just bs double dipping

1

u/FlashyBee2330 8d ago

But they'll buy the game!!!

1

u/Tone_Dephf 8d ago

They said that the pc release will be around 6 months

u/Safe-Industry2465 8d ago

Its no about shark cards, its about double dipping, even triple dipping

Plenty of guys ozt there who will buy it on console (release), then on PC because the game comes with higher frames, 4k textures, new content etc. Then buy it again when it releases on PS6

Same thing was done with GTA5 (PS3 -> PC -> PS4)

u/sortalikeachinchilla 8d ago

Yeah that is not the reason. Online is not even coming out right away. Stop excusing them. There is no excuse for a company as big of them to not release on PC right away.

u/Sarewokki 8d ago

Jesus Christ was indeed well known for focusing on the PC market.

u/Same_Extension_8938 8d ago

How? I doubt they will emulate playable GTA 6 version before the end of 2027 or something like that. They need to crack new PlayStation firmware to get the files, emulate the game, optimize it so it runs without constant crashes, freezing and huge FPS drops. It will take a lot of time even with AI. And after that the game will most likely run at 30 FPS on RTX 5090 and 9800X3D

u/BravestCashew 8d ago

just so you’re aware, AI/hackers have already found a way to jailbreak PS5s by simply changing your IP address in system settings to a specific one, which opens a jailbreak thing somehow, press 1-2 buttons, and you have a jailbroken ps5 that can play ps2 games among other things

On the latest version. For the first time ever. Before this, you needed to have an old ps5 that wasn’t updated because modders had to crack the newer updates every time. AI (assumedly) has made it through the latest version. Maybe they’ll be able to patch it out and keep AI out? But with the rate AI keeps improving, I don’t think that will last for long

2

u/Same_Extension_8938 8d ago

They didn't crack the latest version. Sony fixed the exploit that made possible to crack 13.60. And there will be even newer one before GTA 6 release. Yeah, i think eventually they will crack it but i don't think it will happen this year

1

u/No_Accountant3232 8d ago

Nah, that's just it. Anyone with enough to purchase the tokens will be able to decompile updates within days. We're no longer in the era of waiting weeks for a crack. We're only limited in how much compute can be thrown at it. And GTA 6 is going to have a lot of compute thrown at it. It's entirely possible it'll be bootable on PC within 24 hours and playable within a week. This is a task AI is actually competent at, and people will throw stupid amounts of money to be the first to get GTA 6 playable on PC.

u/Same_Extension_8938 8d ago

Then why has no one succeeded in cracking 14.00 almost a month later? Sony (and any other big company) is using AI as well, they're not stupid. There's no way there will be a playable version of GTA 6 on PC within 24 hours. It's copium

3

u/No_Accountant3232 8d ago

I didn't say playable in 24 hours. And the why it hasn't happened yet is because GTA 6 isn't out yet. People aren't going to spend shitloads on compute for an update that doesn't exist yet, and there's no point in spending that much until the biggest game of the decade launches. 

Wolverine is the proof of concept that will encourage people to spend on compute. You're a blind idiot if you can't see that.

u/Same_Extension_8938 8d ago

Cracking 14.00 would lead to cracking a newer one that GTA requires - a non-idiot would've easily understood that. There is a point. People just can't because Sony fixed the exploit

1

u/No_Accountant3232 8d ago

Cracking 14.00 or any other version isn't required at all. Each new firmware is a new puzzle for AI to work out and there is nobody willing to spend excess on compute to break a pointless update quickly. Which games are on 14.00 that people will be playing for the next decade?

0

u/Same_Extension_8938 8d ago

You really don't understand how it works if you think that cracking 14.10 won't help in cracking next versions. One thing leads to another, it's not completely new puzzle. All previous versions below 13.60 were cracked with the same exploit. Try to think about it, or ask AI if you forgot how to do it yourself

1

u/Soylentstef 8d ago

Maybe they actually cracked it but keep it hidden until the game is released before sony can fix it again, we don't know.

1

u/Same_Extension_8938 8d ago

Maybe, maybe not. It's just guessing. Factually, we don't have any evidence of that. Everything else is speculation

u/BravestCashew 8d ago

ah gotcha the video I saw was 2 days old, only just now seeing the other ones talking about the patch before that
