## Key points

- GTA 6 reportedly requires PS5 firmware 14.22.00.00.
- Sony is tightening security amid rising jailbreak attempts.
- An earlier report cited firmware 14.10.00.00.

## Summary

Sony is reportedly requiring PS5 owners to install its latest firmware before they can play Grand Theft Auto 6, as the company steps up efforts to protect the console from jailbreaks and piracy. The move matters because it links access to a major upcoming release with a security update amid reports of growing attempts to hack PS5 software.

PlayStation Game Size, which tracks PlayStation Store data, says the required version is firmware 14.22.00.00, available in a patch released today; an earlier report had cited version 14.10.00.00. The claim has not been independently confirmed in the article. Sony has also required up-to-date firmware for some previous games, while Gran Turismo 5 was delayed by several days during the PS3 era over a security issue.
