Rare Star Wars PS4 Disc Reportedly Needed for PS5 Jailbreak as Prices Spike

A limited-run physical release is being cited as the required trigger for a PS5 exploit that has sent second-hand prices soaring.

Overview

  • Developers working on a version 12.0 PS5 jailbreak say the 2019 Limited Run Games PS4 disc of Star Wars: Racer Revenge enables code injection through its Hall of Fame menu when played on PS5.
  • Only physical copies are said to work for the exploit, and the digital PlayStation Store version remains available but cannot be used for this purpose.
  • With roughly 8,500 copies produced, secondary-market listings have surged into the hundreds of dollars, with some sales and asks approaching $400.
  • Buyers are sourcing discs internationally as domestic supplies dry up, which is pushing costs higher due to tariffs and reseller markups.
  • Limited Run Games has not commented on a reprint, the jailbreak has not been independently verified or released publicly, and some community claims about patchability remain unconfirmed.
