Silent Hill teaser P.T. hacked to work on an unmodified PS5
Lance McDonald, a well-known video game modder, has posted on Twitter that he’s found a method of getting P.T. onto an unmodified PS5.

However, if you’re just curious about how this works, you need access to P.T. on your account so you can download the teaser on your jailbroken PS5, back up the game on a USB, and then bring that USB to your unmodified PS5 to install it. That’s a simplification of the
