An individual claiming to have cracked PS5 firmware version 14.22 issued a statement denying that extracted GTA 6 files would be released soon, and confirmed that no jailbreak tools or any files and content related to the game would be published.
Earlier reports indicated that this individual had compromised what was claimed to be the PS5 firmware version required to run GTA 6. This led some players to anticipate being able to play the game early or for free via jailbreaking, emulation, or extracted files. The individual subsequently consulted with team administrators and decided not to make these findings public.
He stated that this decision was primarily driven by concerns over legal consequences such as lawsuits and criminal liability, and also because he did not wish to damage Rockstar's reputation or disappoint the developers who had invested significant time, effort, and funds into the game.
According to their statement, the recently demonstrated PS5 jailbreak does indeed exist, and its technical feasibility has been confirmed, though any technology can encounter issues. The statement concluded by reiterating that they will not release the related findings and urged players to purchase games legally and support developers. GTA 6 will launch on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on November 19.
