A prominent PS5 hacker named TheFlow announced he is quitting the PS5 hacking scene after another modder named Jordy reported a critical hypervisor exploit to Sony via HackerOne, despite allegedly agreeing to keep it secret until after Grand Theft Auto 6's release. TheFlow had been developing a Linux mod to turn PS5 consoles into Steam Machines and planned to release it in 2027, but the exploit's disclosure will likely result in Sony patching it out via firmware updates.
