Furthermore, their official Twitter account posted this news on Twitter. And tweeted, “Sony’s PlayStation 5 seems to have been jailbroken – so of course, people are installing the famous lost game P.T. on it.” Here are a few reactions of the people to the tweet:

Also, it can be learned from them that, “While Sony will likely keep an eye on this PS5 jailbreak, it’s unlikely to make it into widespread use in its current form due to its limitations. Primarily, that’s because this new exploit gives you read/write access but no way to execute anything you install – so in McDonald’s case, he can install P.T., but can’t actually launch it.”

Thus, it can be safely said that the technique has not yet made the games playable on the console. And only time will unravel how things turn out in the future.

What does the past tell us about jailbreaking incidents?

In January 2011, a report by the news organization Wired told the community that Sony approached a San Francisco federal judge. With regard to the jailbreaking of PlayStation 3. Furthermore, Sony demanded that the prolific hacker should be blocked. And prevent “others from detailing his hack.”

Moreover, in April 2011, the news came of Sony dropping its jailbreaking lawsuit against PlayStation 3 hacker. But asked in exchange for a promise. Which was that the hacker should never tweak any game console or Sony product. Thus, this scenario is enough to settle the fact that jailbreaking can have serious consequences.
