We covered this a few times already so it's not entirely new, but to recap briefly many may recall PS4 game backups ran on PS4 DevKit / TestKit consoles, the PS4 Retail / Debug Game Transfusion Guide, PFS Findings and more recently the PS4 Retail PKG to Debug PKG Conversion... now PlayStation 4 developer @zecoxao announced on Twitter that PS4 game backups on retail 1.76 consoles will soon be a thing that those outside of private groups can finally make use of! :hearteyes:

Before getting too excited, he states in the tweets (below) that it's currently for Firmware 1.76 and below titles... and @SpecterDev also notes via Twitter that later PS4 Firmware incorporates additional protection checks in the kernel meaning it's probably wise not to hold your breath just yet waiting to play newer PS4 game backups until a more recent kernel exploit surfaces publicly. :oops:

Below are some related Tweets for those who still have a 1.76 PlayStation 4 console that hasn't been updated yet:

Cheers to @B7U3 C50SS and @raedoob for passing along the news in the PSXHAX Shoutbox yesterday... BANG ON! <3

Most of the good <1.76 games can be had for a few dollars, hardly worth saving a ps4 on lower fw.But still a good step in the right direction.

Hope when the jb comes out, it's for whatever the current fw is like the ps3 jb.
