PlayStation 5 Linux Project Expands Support for More 7.0 Firmware

Steam Announcements reports that the PlayStation 5 Linux project has expanded its firmware support to cover more PS5 7.0 firmware.

The scope is important: this is broader compatibility within the console’s 7.0 firmware range, rather than confirmed support for every 7.0 release. The announcement does not specify which 7.0 builds are newly covered or characterize the stability of that support.

GamingOnLinux directs readers from the Steam announcement to its full article about the expansion. For anyone following efforts to run Linux on PlayStation 5 hardware, the confirmed practical update is straightforward: the project now supports a wider selection of PS5 7.0 firmware.
