Forgotten Star Wars Racer Revenge game is key to jailbreaking PlayStation 5, price soars 1,900% overnight amid leaked ROM keys exploit — Physical copies of the PS4 game go from $20 to $400 on eBay

Star Wars Racer Revenge.

The PlayStation 5 ROM keys leak has ignited a frenzy, signaling that a firmware 12.00 jailbreak for the PlayStation 5 is imminent. Gezine — a leading developer and security researcher in the jailbreak community — confirmed that a physical disc copy of Star Wars Racer Revenge is now essential for the exploit. The revelation has sent prices rocketing to all-time highs, prompting jailbreakers and gamers to go on a buying spree.

Star Wars Racer Revenge, which sports the CUSA-03474 game code, hides a rare vulnerability that lets developers inject code directly into the PlayStation system—an exploit that’s quietly evaded patches since the game’s 2002 PlayStation 2 debut. Critically, only the PlayStation 4 physical edition (not the PlayStation 2 original) is vulnerable to the jailbreak. That version was released as an ultra-limited run of just 8,500 copies worldwide, making it a hot ticket for jailbreakers.
