PSBox Cloud Gaming v0.9.0

on GitHub

PSBox Cloud Gaming is a native Xbox Cloud Gaming client for jailbroken PS5 consoles: stream the cloud catalog, the games you own and your own Xbox, at 1080p60 with sound, with the DualSense as an Xbox controller.

Unofficial project, not affiliated with, endorsed or sponsored by Microsoft or Sony. You need a Microsoft account; most of the cloud catalog requires Game Pass Ultimate. Playing your own Xbox works on any plan.

Installation

1. Extract PPSA99810.zip and copy the PPSA99810 folder, as a whole, to /data/homebrew/ on the PS5. Replacing the old folder keeps your sign-in and settings.
2. Wait for the loader (e.g. ShadowMountPlus) to add the PSBox Cloud Gaming icon to the Home screen, then launch it.
3. Sign in: open https://www.microsoft.com/link on your phone or computer (or scan the QR code), and enter the code shown on the TV.

Full instructions, controls and troubleshooting are in PPSA99810/README.txt. The sign-in is saved in PPSA99810/account.json: never share that file or attach it to an issue.

What's new in v0.9.0

Updates from inside the app

• When a new version is out, the app offers it after sign-in (Update now / Not now), and in Settings › Updates. It downloads it, checks it was signed by this project, installs it and restarts by itself. Your sign-in and settings are kept.
• Only packages signed with the project's key are accepted. PPSA99810.zip.sig below is that signature.
• This version has to be installed by hand once (as above); the next ones arrive in the app.

Controller

• Trigger vibration (Settings): choose the intensity, frequency, resistance (the trigger gets heavier as you press it) and style (motor vibration, or force pulses that keep the weight). Press L2 / R2 in the tester to feel it before choosing.
• Stick dead zone, per stick (for a drifting one), set in a tester that shows where the stick is and what the game gets. The dead zone is now radial: diagonals no longer snap to an axis, and movement starts from zero past it.
• Light bar: the game's colour, a colour of your choice (a colour wheel, live on the pad), or off.
• The confirm button setting shows the ✕ / ◯ buttons and works from the next press.
• New controller icons.

Search

• New filters, as lists, in both tabs: Mode (single player, online multiplayer, online co-op, local / split screen), Genre, Language (subtitles or audio in the app's language) and Console.
• Lowest price orders by the price with any discount applied.
• The first launch fetches the details these filters need in the background (it can take several minutes); after that they load in seconds.

Tested on one console (cloud over Wi-Fi; a Series X on the same network).

Known limitations

• Software video decoding; no HDR.
• The cloud stream is 1080p at about 10–12 Mbps, as Microsoft sends it.
• Turning the Xbox off from its guide in the middle of a stream can leave its Remote Play stuck: hold the console's power button for 10 seconds, then turn it back on.
• Games can't be bought or got from the console: use the QR code.
