Star Wars: Racer Revenge Prices Surge Further After PS5 Jailbreak Tease

Following initial reports, resale prices for the physical PS4 edition of Star Wars: Racer Revenge continue to climb among PS5 jailbreak enthusiasts exploiting a vulnerability in firmware 12.00. A developer's tweet detailing the method has fueled demand for the 2019 Limited Run Games collector's edition.

As covered earlier, the PS4 port of the 2002 PS2 game Star Wars: Racer Revenge (CUSA03474) is key to a new jailbreak due to an unpatched bug in its Hall of Fame menu, enabling code injection on PS5 via backward compatibility.

On January 1, 2026, developer Gezine (@gezine_dev) teased the exploit: "mast1core based on disc game CUSA03474 This was the 12.00 dup exploit that was teased. Will release code after polishing more. Happy new year scene pic.twitter.com/mskPXHQQ0b."

This confirmation has driven prices higher on eBay, with pre-owned copies now £70 to over £300 ($200+). Kotaku noted prices quadrupled after a Resell Calendar article just before January 2, 2026, amplifying reports from Eurogamer. With only 8,500 copies originally produced, scarcity persists, challenging hackers seeking the disc for the jailbreak.
