A homebrew app called Overdrive puts a PlayStation Store lookalike on jailbroken PS5s, with a library its own site lists at 1,669 titles. International Cyber Digest says it went up on GitHub on October 9 and pulls games from file hosts like MediaFire. Videos covered by Insider Gaming show listings for Battlefield 6, 007: First Light and Black Myth: Wukong with no prices attached, just file sizes and review scores.

According to the project's README, Overdrive runs on the console itself. You browse with the controller, it downloads with up to 64 parallel connections, unpacks the archives and hands the finished games to another homebrew tool, ShadowMountPlus, which puts them on the home screen. The developer says it was tested on firmware 13.60 and updates itself from GitHub releases. Version 0.2.1 shipped on October 12.

That auto-update path may already be broken. As of early Tuesday morning ET, the GitHub releases repository returns a 404, though the developer's account is still up. Why it's gone isn't clear. No takedown notice has surfaced, and Sony hasn't commented on Overdrive publicly.

None of this works without Relapse, a browser-plus-kernel exploit chain that went public on GitHub on September 29. It covers PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles on system software 7.00 through 13.60, with a few builds (10.60 and 11.40) missing from its supported list. It's tethered, so it has to be run again after every reboot, and its own documentation warns the kernel stage can hang or crash the console.

Sony's 14.00 update, released September 16, falls outside Relapse's range, and 14.10 followed on October 1 with patch notes that only mention security and stability fixes. As Kotaku pointed out, that leaves every game released before mid-September exposed, and some newer games and updates already require 14.00, which pushes jailbroken consoles off the newest releases. Running unsigned code also breaks Sony's terms of service, and the company can ban the accounts and consoles it catches.
