PS5: Sony Clamps Down on Firmware Ahead of GTA 6 Launch

Sony is taking zero chances when it comes to security ahead of GTA 6. The console maker has just pushed another mandatory PS5 firmware update designed to patch exploits and lock out hacked systems before Rockstar's giant hits the shelves. To boot up the game, your PS5 will now require firmware version 14.22.00.00 at a minimum. That is a major blow for players holding onto older system software to preserve jailbreak capabilities. You are going to have to choose between custom system hacks and playing the biggest title of the decade. This continuous crackdown on hackers shows just how aggressively Sony is securing its network ahead of launch day. The company is in a race against time to prevent day-one piracy and leaks. If you want to hit Vice City without any hassle, update your machine right now.
