Today we received word from both MODRuLeZ and Mangekyou222 of PlayStation 4 developer @MODDEDWARFARE's latest work... a PS4 Theme Creator released on Twitter complete with a Custom PS4 Themes Tutorial video from his YouTube Channel!
Recently the PS4 scene has been focusing on ESP8266 board methods including ESPHost, ESPS4ExploitServer and RetroGamerFirm while today PlayStation 4 developer @Al Azif announced on Twitter alongside the PS4 Exploit Host v0.4.2 release news of the latest PS4 modchip project for Webkit exploits tentatively known as The Gate... although with support for other devices including Nintendo Switch and PlayStation Vita planned it will likely be renamed soon he states.
Here's the full announcement complete with features from the Github update, to quote: Announcement
This project has been a little neglected since the 0.4.1 release almost a month ago as I've been working on another project since that release. I've haven't been hiding and posted a bit on Discord so this won't come as a surprise to some. It's a "modchip" for webkit exploits, mirroring the existing ESP8266 methods, just with more features/polish.
The device can either create a network to connect to (No internet access), connect to an existing network (Works just like this host), or create a bridge (Enabling internet access though the device). It's a custom PCB that's about 25mm*18mm*4mm (Currently) so it should fit inside most consoles. The front end looks like my regular exploit host and you can view a demo (out of date) of the control panel here.
Features
Control the device from your phone/computer over Bluetooth/Wifi
Open API for developers to interact/control the device
Press physical buttons on the console
View/Download UART data
Add, download, or delete exploits with one button click
Custom filetype (Compresses exploits into a single file to install/share)

Since his recent PS4 Payload Sender v2 for 1.76, 4.05 and 4.55 Firmware versions on jailbroken consoles today PlayStation 4 developer @AlFaMoDz announced on Twitter that he released AlFaMoDz V1.2 PS4 4.05 / 4.55 GTA V Mod Menu for offline use followed by PS4 v5.05 support.

PS4 4.05/4.55 GTA V MOD MENU "AlFaMoDz V1.2" OFFLINE
From the video's description, to quote: Well here it is, something a lot of people have been waiting for. Over the past 4 or 5 days I've spent many hours every day finding and testing whats shown in the menu.
This game is very different to any cod game before it which makes getting certain mods very difficult. This will not be released, at least not for now. There is a lot more I want to look into with game.
The menu is still very incomplete. As you can see from watching there is a lot missing from all other menus I've made in the past. The good news is all of the basics are here and are fully functional as well as some fun mods that are relatively new.
What I'm still looking into:
Noclip, since mFlags are not in this game, the noclip has to be remade and I'm having some issues with entity linking
Lobby Mods: super speed, super jump, slow motion etc
Infinite Jetpack
Spawning Bots
Removing out of Bounds the list goes on.
There is no ETA on a release because I want this menu to be complete. As of now it only is working on version 1.00, but that may change as the SPRX injectors get updated.
