Chronus can be detected on consoles, just not super easily. And it kinda depends on each game’s developer and their ability to implement such detections. I know that Embark Studios have said that they’ve found ways to detect such devices in The Finals.
I believe that, while they can’t detect the actual hardware plugged into the console, they’re able to detect input patterns that would only be possible from M/K (such as 0ms AD-spamming). Of course, I can’t imagine that’s 100% foolproof on its own, either.
Eh. Nintendo’s been bumfucked like this for the majority of the Switch lifespan. detecting and banning modded consoles is a cat and mouse game that favors the cat. Piracy favors the mouse, because piracy happens in your home on your hardware. Online play is you trying to play ball in Sony’s court.
Softmodded consoles probably won’t even be able to play online, let alone cheat online.
Not that I particularly care as the few exclusives on ps5 are all arriving on pc.
But this is gonna be hell on earth for anyone interested in competitive multiplayer games.
And the damage to Sony might be epochal if the exploit is easy enough for anyone to do it.
Competitive multiplayer games are already cooked on Playstation anyways since a lot of console cheaters use Cronus on PS4s that can’t detect it.

Why? Other than allowing piracy and home brew stuff what does this mean?
Cheating online is gonna be extremely easy since you can just run a cheat program as legitimate software.
That could snowball into people not buying any big competitive game on ps5 anymore.

Ah ok. In my mind, sony wanted to sell consoles and a console in can hack is more interesting to me than before.
They are basically just computers now, I wasn’t getting why it was such a big deal.
