A new app called Overdrive is reportedly offering free games and DLC for jailbroken PS5 consoles, functioning like a no-cost alternative to the PlayStation Store. A clip posted on X by Edigax on October 11 showcases the app listing titles such as Battlefield 6 and Forza Horizon 5, displaying download sizes and review scores instead of prices. However, the app’s origins and reliability remain unclear, with early user feedback describing it as "very poorly made." Overdrive joins Orbit Store, an open-source beta by developer saawant12, which links 147 games from Archive.org without hosting files itself.
Both apps emerged shortly after the public release of Relapse, a jailbreak for PS5 and PS5 Pro consoles running firmware 7.00 to 13.60. The homebrew community has since made progress, including PS2 disc compatibility and Halo 2 running at 30 FPS via an Xbox emulator. In response, Sony has released firmware 14.00 and 14.10 with security updates outside Relapse’s range.
With no official downgrade option, updating a console means losing jailbreak access. Experts warn that using Overdrive voids warranties, risks PSN bans, and may introduce malware or brick the device.
