Byepervisor Reborn Cracks the PS5 Hypervisor on Firmware 13.60, but Developers Warn It’s Not Useful to Regular Users Yet

The PlayStation 5 homebrew scene has just taken another significant step forward with the release of Byepervisor Reborn, a hypervisor exploit that could expand what modified PS5 consoles can do on firmware 13.60. However, this is a foundation for developers rather than a finished, consumer-ready jailbreak, and several features still require additional work. As detailed in the project's GitHub documentation, the exploit targets a vulnerability in the console's recovery from Rest Mode, which allows access to the hypervisor's address space and disables execute-only memory protections, leaving the kernel available for dumping and patching.
