PS5 firmware 14.22 is out: Sony's third security patch in five weeks and where the jailbreak scene stands
2026-11-09 · Guides
Sony pushed out PS5 system software 26.07-14.22.00 on November 1 and 2, 2026. It's about 1.27 GB, and the patch notes are a single line about security fixes. Sony didn't say what it patched. Outlets connect the timing to recent claims from console hackers, and it's the third security-focused update in roughly five weeks, just ahead of GTA 6.
The headline fact: no public jailbreak has been confirmed on firmware 14.00 or later as of this writing.
The timeline
Firmware 14.00 arrived around September 16. On September 29, the Relapse exploit chain went public, but it only covers firmware 7.00 through 13.60.
Sony then moved fast. Firmware 14.10 landed October 1, and around mid-October outlets reported that PSN began refusing consoles below that version. Firmware 14.20 followed October 21, and 14.22 arrived in early November.
Claims vs. confirmed facts
Unconfirmed claim: a researcher using the name kuzibelit said they ran their own code in the console's user space on firmware 14.20, within hours of its release. That comes from the researcher's own post, and running code in user space is not a full jailbreak.
Unconfirmed claim: developer Gezine showed private work on firmware 14.10 through a debug menu. No public 14.10 jailbreak had been confirmed.
Sony's response: no comment beyond the patch notes. Proven Gamer reports that some games now require firmware 14.00 to download their own updates.
Rumor: data mined from PSN hints that GTA 6 could require firmware around 14.10, with others guessing 14.20 or 14.22. Neither Sony nor Rockstar has confirmed a minimum version.

What it means for you
If you just play games, install the update. Firmware can't be rolled back, and running an old version can cost you online access. It's also the simple way to avoid surprises before GTA 6 launches.
