PSBox Cloud Gaming 1.6.9 brings Xbox Cloud Gaming to jailbroken PS5 and syncs achievements to trophies
The native app for PS5, GoldHEN PS4 and Linux streams the Xbox Cloud Gaming catalog at 1080p60 with the DualSense as the controller. In a week it has added PS5 trophies built from Xbox achievements and a reworked gyro. It needs a Game Pass plan that includes cloud gaming.
Xbox Cloud Gaming on a homebrew PS5
PSBox Cloud Gaming streams Xbox Cloud Gaming titles at 1080p60 and uses the DualSense as an Xbox controller, with rumble, adaptive triggers and a light bar in the game's colour. It runs on PS5, on PS4 with GoldHEN and on Linux, including the Steam Deck's desktop and game modes. You sign in with a code entered on your phone, so the password never goes through the console.
It has Game Pass and Your games tabs, search and the free-to-play games. My consoles lets you play remotely from your own Xbox. The picture is upscaled to 4K on the GPU with FSR 1 or Anime4K. The repository started on October 7, has 188 stars and is under GPL-3.0.
Trophies and gyro
Version 1.6.3, from November 7, turns Xbox achievements earned in cloud games into PS5 trophies. It builds full trophy sets with rarities, descriptions and a platinum, and a background worker syncs your achievement history. It also fixes the app's in-app updater.
Version 1.6.9, from November 10, reworks the DualSense gyro. Fine aiming responds to small wrist movements, and horizontal rotation follows the room's gravity instead of the controller's tilt. It adds a virtual steering wheel with auto-centering and four driving presets: Casual, Normal, Aggressive and Drift. The in-game menu gains a QR code that opens the SmartGlass web interface.
What you need
A Microsoft account with a Game Pass plan that includes cloud gaming: Essential, Premium or Ultimate. In September Microsoft announced monthly cloud play limits starting in November: 5 hours on Essential, 10 on Premium and 15 on Ultimate. Extra hours are sold separately.
On PS5 you need a homebrew-enabled console that runs apps from /data/homebrew, for example through ShadowMountPlus. The project reports it working on firmware 13.00 and 13.60. You install it from RecompStore or Prospero Store, or by hand with PPSA99810.zip from the latest release. Updates arrive from inside the app, and it only accepts packages signed with the project's key. Your sign-in lives in /data/psbox/account.json, a file you shouldn't share.
