PS5 Jailbreak ‘Relapse’ Released as Sony Argues Players Don’t Own Digital Games

The timing matters more than the exploit itself: a public jailbreak arriving while Sony litigates the ownership status of digital purchases sharpens the tension between what a console can technically run and what a buyer legally holds. That distinction now sits at the center of the digital-storefront model across gaming and, by extension, tokenized content markets. Whether Relapse proves durable or is quickly patched is the open question, but the ownership argument it shadows is the one with real staying power.
