hacked onto a PS5 to turn Sony's console into a Steam Machine — GTA V Enhanced Edition runs at 60 FPS on 1440pwith ray tracing

- smooth gameplay
- supports 4k HDMI output and audio output
- Both CPU and GPU works normally and both can be boosted to a higher level
- All USB ports works perfectly

In a way, this is a tease of what the upcoming Steam Machine will be since it'll feature similar performance and run SteamOS, based on Linux.
