I'm glad that someone has proven that @PlayStation has lied to us for almost 8 years that they "couldn't add" backwards compatibility to PS5. And what makes it even worse on Sony is they was able to do it WHILE USING THE DISC
Let me explain why this narrative is huge.
Sony spent years grifting, saying PS2/3 games couldn’t run on PS5 because the tech was too complicated.
They lied to keep selling remasters and subscriptions instead of letting gamers play the discs they already own.
Sword used Grok to build PS5SX2 and gave gamers what they’d wanted from Sony for years: a way to play their own games on PS5.
He’s project is giga viral. Millions of views, big gaming accounts covering it on X, YT and TT.
Everyone is talking because it’s exposed how greedy these corporations are.
We’re fully supporting him so he can keep building and maintaining PS5SX2.

For those who don’t get it, the narrative is simple.
Sony keeps pushing subscriptions while people still own their favourite PS2 PS3 PS4 games on disc. Now an open-source dev is giving them a way to play those games on PS5.
People want to play the games they grew up with without paying for them again. That’s why this is going so viral… it’s all over TikTok, and big gaming YouTubers are covering it too.
PlayStation’s only rational response to this would be to update the PS5 to do this officially.
Allow us to play our entire PlayStation physical library on the PlayStation five.

The fact that the PS5 is able to run PS2 games this entire time, and Sony just never bothered to make that an option is wild.
Truly a greedy ass company that deserves all the negativity thrown at it.
This is crazy, a jailbroken PS5 can now play original PS2 game discs directly, without needing to copy the games to digital files first.
Modders have found a way to use the PS5’s disc drive to read original PS2 DVDs and run the games through an emulator.
But they’re not stopping there. Modders are also working on getting original PS3 discs to work on the PS5
So Sony could have made this possible years ago, but they never did, they preferred to keep charging users for useless remakes.
PS2 discs. Straight into a PS5.
20+ years of nostalgia, one disc away.
PS5SX2 🎮

PS5 plays PS2 games directly from the disc and PS3 support is coming
The Jailbreak scene has shown that people can run games from these systems via emulation
Not only that PS2 disc support now works as well and PS3 disc support is set to be added
If these things end up working well, Sony has had the ability this entire gen and seemingly chose not to put the effort into disc-based backwards compatibility on PS5

Sony is getting absolutely hammered over its stance on game ownership.
>First Sony announced that are killing the disc and going all digital
>Then They are arguing in court that players don’t own the games they buy, only have a license to access them.
>Recently modders have managed to jailbreak a recent version of the PlayStation 5.
Now fans are telling Sony they no longer own their own hardware, they wanted a full digital console so people are doing that exactly that
