"Interested jailbreakers need Racer Revenge to jailbreak PS5 12.00 firmware because of a bug in the game's Hall of Fame feature, according to Eurogamer. The bug makes it possible to inject new code into Sony's console, and because the PS5 is able to load and play PS4 discs, Star Wars Racer Revenge is an easier method to pull the jailbreak off. Retail releases of games are a common way to execute exploits and hacks because, unlike digital copies, they can't be directly patched."
"While the PS4 version of Star Wars Racer Revenge was available for anywhere between $14.99 to $37.50 when it went on sale originally, used copies are currently listed for as high as $411 on eBay. Sellers are naturally trying to capitalize on the game's new position in the jailbreaking meta and raising the price accordingly. Of course, it helps that there's only a small number of copies to go around."
Star Wars Racer Revenge contains a bug in its Hall of Fame feature that allows code injection into consoles. That bug enables jailbreaks of PlayStation 5 systems running 12.00 firmware by using the PS4 version of the game. The PS5 can load and run PS4 discs, making the retail PS4 release an accessible vector for the exploit. Retail discs cannot be patched remotely, so physical copies serve as reliable execution routes. Limited Run Games produced only 8,500 PS4 copies, creating scarcity. Resale listings for used copies have climbed sharply, with some listings reaching around $411 as sellers capitalize on demand.
