A rare Star Wars game is selling for a lot of money on eBay. This is not because it is suddenly popular or fun to play. Instead, it is because of a secret way to modify the PlayStation 5 (PS5) that people are trying to figure out. The game, Star Wars Racer Revenge, was first released in 2002 for the PlayStation 2. It was later made available for the PS4 in 2019, but it did not get much attention. Now, the PS2 version of the game is being sold for hundreds of dollars. This is because some people believe that the game can be used to hack the PS5. The hack uses special codes that were recently leaked online. These codes are very important for the PS5's security. The problem is that these codes cannot be changed or updated. This means that Sony cannot fix the issue with a simple update.
The hack is still in the early stages. It is not yet possible to fully modify the PS5 using this method. However, it is a step in that direction. Some people in the gaming community are skeptical. They say that more than just the leaked codes are needed to fully hack the PS5. This news is worrying for Sony. It means that people are now one step closer to finding a way to fully modify the PS5. Sony has been successful in preventing this from happening since the PS5 was released in 2020. But now, they might have a bigger problem on their hands. Sony might start buying up copies of the game to prevent people from using it to hack the PS5. But for now, the game is still being sold for a lot of money. It is a strange situation, but it shows how valuable a simple game can become when it is tied to something bigger.
