A developer going by RafaelNGP has released an unofficial application that lets jailbroken PlayStation 5 consoles stream Xbox games. Called PSBox Cloud Gaming, the tool is published on GitHub and runs natively on homebrew-enabled PS5s through a loader such as ShadowMountPlus, according to TechPowerUp and Tom's Hardware.
The client does not bypass Microsoft's requirements. A Game Pass Ultimate subscription is still needed, and users sign in by entering a code at microsoft.com/link, which can be completed from a phone. Tom's Hardware reports that the developer, based in Brazil, built parts of the app using the Claude AI model, and that it supports up to four DualSense controllers mapped as Xbox pads. The DualSense works as an Xbox controller with rumble, and a recent build added voice chat through the controller's microphone.
