Homebrew App Runs Xbox Cloud Gaming Natively on Jailbroken PS5s

Streams run at 1080p60 by default, dropping to 720p on slower connections, with an experimental 1440p mode where Microsoft offers it. The app can also use the PS5's GPU to upscale output to 4K, giving users a choice between AMD FSR 1 and the Anime4K upscaler. Video is decoded as H.264 on the CPU, so there is no HDR, and bitrate sits at roughly 10 to 12 Mbps at 1080p.

TechPowerUp notes the project has advanced quickly: version 0.5.0, which added 4K upscaling, arrived on October 8, and version 0.9.5 followed two days later, adding Remote Play to a user's own Xbox. Early testers reported issues including macroblocking, pink artifacts, and DualSense vibration problems. The developer's own README cautions that Microsoft could alter or block the services the client depends on at any time.

The release follows other recent PS5 homebrew projects, including emulators that run Nintendo Switch games and load PS2 discs.

The Nigerian city simulation game says it has booked more than $170,000 in earned and contracted revenue, largely through paid in-game billboard placements.
