PS4 4.05 Jailbreak Updates from SpecterDev on Christmas Eve
'Twas the night before Christmas... as the story goes! Last we heard from PlayStation 4 developer SpecterDev on his PS4 4.05 Kernel Exploit Progress he ran into some issues, but recently he Tweeted the following update to quote:
"WebKit exit seems to be stabilized in the exploit chain, however launching games will freeze on boot. But at least payloads can be ran with system stability now with games aside"
Since then, when asked for an official comment on his PS4 v4.05 work @SpecterDev followed-up on Reddit's Discord channel earlier today stating "Oh ye should be done today or tomorrow I'm just working on a game I've decided to start making"
Also below are some related Tweets from @HydrogenNGU for those following the ongoing PS4 4.05 jailbreak news this Christmas Eve:
