GTA IV RUNS NATIVELY ON PS5: RECOMPILED PORT HITS 4K AND 120HZ ON JAILBROKEN CONSOLES
GTA IV and both Episodes from Liberty City run natively on a jailbroken PS5

Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony now run natively on a jailbroken PS5, recompiled from the Xbox 360 version. v1.0 landed Oct 21 from elripalda. It's built on OZORDI's Liberty Recompiled (the native GTA IV recompilation on ReXGlue) by way of vaduur's LibertyRecompAndroid, the same codebase behind the Theft4 iPhone port already on our wire. It outputs 4K with a 60 FPS cap (the busiest streets dip into the high 40s and 50s), supports 120 Hz, VRR and a 40 FPS mode, and adds PlayStation button prompts, DualSense light-bar police lights, adaptive triggers, a hub to pick the base game or either episode, Xbox 360 save import and trophies. It installs from your own files. The creator credits the Liberty Recompiled team for the heavy lifting.
You need: A jailbroken PS5 that runs homebrew apps from /data/homebrew/, plus your own USA Xbox 360 GTA IV disc image (.iso) and Title Update 8; the episodes need their package from your own Xbox 360. No game files are included. Safety: jailbreaking only works on older firmware, can void your warranty and risks a PSN ban, so keep that console offline and never install pirated packages.
