Hello World! I've been reporting on Sony PlayStation hacking news since 2000 and started PSXHAX in 2014 to cover PlayStation (PSX), PlayStation 2 (PS2), PlayStation 3 (PS3), PlayStation 4 (PS4), PlayStation Portable (PSP), PlayStation Vita (PS Vita), PlayStation TV (PS TV) and next-gen PlayStation 5 (PS5) platforms along with anything else of interest.

GTA Online PS4 players can now own and operate your own Los Santos nightclub in the latest Grand Theft Auto Online update available today.
Check out the PlayStation 4 video trailer below, and to quote from R*Q with the details:
The underground dance club scene in Los Santos gets a major upgrade today with After Hours.
Jump into GTA Online to partner up with Tony Prince, the well-known, well-connected and somewhat financially sound nightlife scene impresario and open up your very own Nightclub.
You'll own and operate the club from setup, design, staffing and promotion. The more popular the club, the faster your secure wall safe will fill up with cold hard cash.
Nightclubs include an underground Warehouse, a new epicenter for your network of seedier ventures. Assign technicians to accrue supplies for your existing Biker, Special Cargo, Smugglers and Gunrunning businesses and sell the goods for criminal profits.
Today's update also includes seven all new vehicles such as the Ocelot Swinger sports car, the Dinka Jester Classic and highly customizable and powerful delivery vehicles for your new Warehouse supplies.
And now through August 6th, play Grand Theft Auto Online without a PlayStation Plus membership.
The party starts now, play Grand Theft Auto to experience After Hours.
We've seen several PS4 Remote Play homebrew applications enter and leave the PlayStation 4 scene including an Offline PS4 Remote Play Patcher, and recently developer delroth (aka matteyeux on Twitter) added his own open source PS4 Remote Play client WIP to Github which he states is is based on reverse engineered protocol documentation.
Below are the details from the README.md, to quote: PS4 Remote Play Client (WIP)
Note: this project is NOT affiliated with, funded, or in any way associated with Sony Interactive Entertainment.
Goal: having an open source implementation of the PS4 Remote Play protocol as well as a client which works on Linux. Both local and remote remote play should be supported.
Current status:
Supports the initial registration protocol.
Supports local "wake on LAN".
TODO:
Draw the rest of the f-ing owl
Local streaming protocol RE and implementation (video, audio, input).
Remote streaming protocol RE and implementation (video, audio, input).
Make an unlock FPKG for the theme you want, it should be a standard 128 KB unlock FPKG (use Radziu's ez_fake_dlc.py script for that).
Say we use the PS2 theme like the Legacy Dashboard Theme on PlayStation Store I was looking for earlier, you just make an unlock FPKG for it like this one:
And here's where the real trick is- you DON'T use a dump of the theme, you use the OFFICIAL PKG of it.
Straight up official PKG of the theme and what you do with it is get both the official PKG and the unlock key FPKG on your pendrive, and then you install the unlock key FPKG one FIRST (this is very important) and THEN you install the official PKG of the theme.
It will actually work, its counted as if you bought it. I just did it for myself and it worked after full shutdown reboot. No rest mode involved whatsoever.
Following his previous homebrew releases, PlayStation 4 developer @DEFAULTDNB made available X-Project PS4 5.05 Exploit Self Host 2.0 via Twitter which he states aims to be an AIO (All-In-One) customizable tool box for PS4 payloads.
PS VR digital title The Persistence is emerging on PlayStation 4 next week on July 24th, where you as clone of security officer Zimri Eder command a crew mutated into horrific and murderous aberrations that are caught in the inexorable pull of a black hole in space... your mission is to save the ship and make the jump back to earth!
