According to several specialist sites, PSN now requires PS5 firmware 14.10: a console left on 14.00 loses online play and the PlayStation Store.

Sony released firmware 26.06-14.10.00 on October 1, 2026. Its release notes only mention security, performance and stability. But since the middle of the month, the specialist press (Notebookcheck, Unwire, Gaming Bible, picked up by Gadget Review) has been reporting that consoles still on 14.00 are denied access to PSN until they install 14.10:
What about the jailbreak?
The current jailbreak, Relapse, works from firmware 7.00 to 13.60. Byepervisor Reborn also targets 13.60.

- no more online play, no more PlayStation Store, no more cloud saves;
- digital license checks may also fail;
- offline play, however, keeps working.

The current jailbreak, Relapse, works from firmware 7.00 to 13.60. Byepervisor Reborn also targets 13.60.

There is no going back: once 14.10 is installed, the console cannot return to an exploitable firmware.
So the choice becomes binary:
- stay on 13.60 or lower: homebrew, emulators and ports, but no PSN and no recent games that require 14.10;
- update: PSN and new releases, but no known jailbreak.
