These ads are so annoying. My sincere hope is someone cracks this game and Rockstar has to deal with a flood of piracy

    I suspect that the surge in PS5 emulation has something to do with the desire to play GTA6 on PC.

    Currently PS5 emulation won't be able to play GTA6 regardless of how good the emulators get. The actual game is going to be encrypted with keys for the latest ps5 firmware. Currently there is no known exploit for that firmware version which means there's no way to decrypt and dump the GTA6 game files for use in an emulator (or for use on a piracy-enabled ps5).

    You'll see a fair amount of misinformation about this. The most common claim is "something something this is why no disc" but even if GTA6 was coming out on a disc, the game would be encrypted against the exact same keys the download version is so would-be pirates would still be waiting for a latest-firmware PS5 exploit.

    Do you have a source for this?

    This is how every game on PSN or discs for PS5 works. Disc copies are usually a month or so behind 'latest' due to pressing time. The last big ps5 release keyed to a vulnerable firmware is Marvel's Wolverine.

    Piracy on PS5 is always a game of catch-up. Exploit a ps5 firmware and you can pirate anything keyed to that firmware or older, but you can't pirate (or buy) anything newer without updating the console and losing your exploit. Eventually, newer firms get exploited and the "pirate range" gets expanded. But new exploits take a lot of time and effort to find and it gets harder every time a vuln gets "burned" - I don't think the GTA firmware will be solid forever but it'll almost certainly last long enough that the game's PC version will be out.
