Sony has issued a new PlayStation 5 firmware update amid the homebrew community's ongoing effort to jailbreak the console. PS5 system software update 26.07-14.20.00 is available now and weighs in at 1.2 GB. While Sony’s official patch notes suggest its only function is to improve “the messages and usability on some screens,” some believe it may perform other functions under the hood. PS5 firmware update 26.07-14.20.00 patch notes:We've improved the messages and usability on some screens. The PlayStation homebrew scene hit the headlines in recent weeks for releasing PS5 jailbreaks for prior firmwares. For example, late last month, a jailbreak that supported all PS5 consoles running firmware 7.00-13.60 sent shockwaves through the homebrew community. At the time, it meant that all PS5s, including the PS5 Pro, that hadn't been updated within the previous week, were compatible with the jailbreak. This is of huge significance for Sony and the security of the PS5, as people with a jailbroken PS5 can modify their console, potentially opening the door to video game piracy.

Naturally, that makes another more direct follow-up that much more enticing. Whether another installment will follow those characters is a different question. CD Projekt Red has described both Edgerunners stories as standalone projects, and its creators have outlined an approach that gives different filmmakers room to explore the same world.
