Sony has blocked third-party controllers on PlayStation 5
By ForGeeks A PlayStation 5 update has blocked the Cronus Zen controller emulator used to gain an unfair advantage in games. As it turns out, the 24.01-08.60.00 update renders Cronus Zen incompatible with the PS5, preventing players from connecting the device to the console. Cronus acknowledged the issue and informed users that the update broke the device’s compatibility with the PS5. It’s unclear whether the lockup was an intentional implementation by Sony or was an unintended consequence of the update.
It’s not clear if the lockup was an intentional implementation by Sony or was an unintended consequence of the update.
Reminder, Cronus Zen gained notoriety for its ability to alter controller inputs and provide an unfair advantage in multiplayer games. It should be noted that the blocking of Cronus Zen is a positive development in the fight against cheating in games and follows similar measures taken by other gaming companies, including Xbox, Activision Blizzard, Ubisoft, Bungie and Epic Games.
Reminder, Microsoft introduced a complete ban on third-party controllers along with the Xbox console in October 2023.Link to paraphrase
