PKG Sender v1.0.0

Send and install PS5 / PS4 PKG files directly over your local network.

PKG Sender is a Windows application for sending PKG files to a jailbroken PS5 or PS4 using the local network.
No USB drive. No manual IP entry in the usual setup. Just start the receiver, open PKG Sender, and send your games.

📥 Files

  • PkgSender-Setup-1.0.0.exe — self-contained installer, no .NET needed, no admin needed.
  • pkg-receiver.elf — the console payload. Send it to your jailbroken console first (it also ships inside the install folder).

✨ Highlights

  • 🎮 PS5 & PS4 support
  • 🔎 Automatic console discovery
  • 📚 Game Library with game names, cover art, Title IDs, versions and file sizes
  • 🖼️ Game information during installation — display the game name and cover art on the console while installing
  • 📤 Send queue for sending multiple files
  • 📊 Transfer progress for active transfers
  • 🔗 Game family linking for games, updates and DLC
  • 🌐 LAN transfer over your local network
  • 🔌 Direct Ethernet connection supported
  • 🔄 Automatic updates
  • 📦 Self-contained — no .NET runtime needed, no administrator privileges required

🌐 LAN Connection

PKG Sender supports two network setups:

Router — Connect your PC and PS5/PS4 to the same router. PKG Sender will automatically discover the console.

Direct Ethernet — You can also connect your PC directly to the console with an Ethernet cable.
Because there is no DHCP server in a direct connection, you need to configure static IP addresses:

PC      192.168.10.1
Console 192.168.10.2
Subnet  255.255.255.0

PKG Sender intentionally ignores automatic 169.254.x.x addresses, so static IP configuration is required for this setup.
See the built-in Guide or the README for the complete LAN setup instructions.

🔍 Firmware compatibility

So far tested on PS5 firmware 6.02 only — it is not yet clear which other firmware versions work.
If you test it, please report your console model + firmware version + result in Issues. Thank you!

📦 Requirements
