Planning to Jailbreak a Sony PS4 in 2025? Is it worth it? Should you do it?

With the PlayStation 5 now firmly established, many Indian gamers are considering second-hand or jailbroken PlayStation 4 consoles as a way to access affordable, offline gaming in 2025. Before diving in, it is essential to note that jailbreaking a PS4 is widely considered a form of software piracy and is illegal under copyright law. This article does not endorse or encourage piracy; it is intended purely for educational purposes to highlight the realities, risks, and reasons why some might seek to modify their consoles for personal, offline, or retro experiences. If you're curious about what a jailbroken PS4 can (and cannot) offer, here's what you need to know before making any decision. PS4 Jailbreak in 2025: Is it worth it? What Is a Jailbroken PS4? Jailbreaking strips the console of Sony's software restrictions. This lets users install third-party apps, pirated games, emulators, and custom themes. In India, it's usually done in local markets using USB-based exploits on specific firmware versions. Why People Still Buy Jailbroken PS4s 1. Dirt-cheap games: Jailbroken PS4s come preloaded with up to 500 games. Popular titles like God of War, GTA V, and Tekken 7 are often installed for as little as ₹50 each. 2. Emulators and old-school fun: You can run PS2, PSP, and even arcade ROMs. For retro lovers, that's a big plus. 3. Mods and customisation: Install new UI themes, in-game mods, and utilities. Want Iron Man in GTA V? Done. 4. Offline goldmine: Ideal for rural areas or gaming cafés where internet is patchy. You can load up games and play without ever needing a connection. 5. Affordable setup: A PS4 Slim or Fat with 1 TB storage and loaded games sells for ₹13,000–15,000. That's half the price of a used PS5. The flip side: Risks and trade-offs 1. No Online Gaming: You can't access PSN. No multiplayer, no game updates, no downloads. Try it, and you risk a permanent ban. 2. Zero warranty: Jailbreaking voids any remaining warranty. If something goes wrong, repairs are on you. 3. Limited game support: Some new releases won't run. Jailbroken consoles are locked to certain firmware versions. 4. Security issues: Sketchy downloads can brick your console or infect it with malware. 5. Storage gets tight: Most AAA games are 50–100 GB. Without an external hard drive, you'll run out of space fast. Who should (and shouldn't) buy one

You also must deal with Pinhead, who's known for harvesting human souls — yeah, this is a creepy game.

Sony's 30th Anniversary DualSense Controller is back in stock online at 10AM ET

Sony will have a 'limited restock' of its 30th Anniversary DualSense Wireless Controller on the PlayStation Direct storefront. The $79.99 gamepad is available for preorder starting July 21st at 10AM ET for PlayStation Plus subscribers and on July 23rd at 10AM ET for everyone else. It will begin shipping on September 9th. If you want to order today, a PlayStation Plus Essential subscription costs $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year. The 30th Anniversary DualSense Wireless Controller is a fully-functional gamepad with the same colors as the original PlayStation console released in December of 1994. The limited-edition PlayStation 5 controller was released last year to commemorate the launch of the original PlayStation in December of 1994. Its outer shell and buttons feature the same color scheme as Sony's original console and peripherals, and the 'PS' button matches the multicolor logo Sony used at that time. However, it's a fully functional DualSense Controller, with the same features as a non-limited edition gamepad. In addition to the DualSense, the UK and Canadian PlayStation stores are also restocking the 30th Anniversary PlayStation Portal and PS5 Digital Bundle, which were part of last year's campaign.
