Back up, restore and share PS5 game saves from your browser. Runs on jailbroken PS5 consoles as an ELF payload.

Firmware support

Firmware Status
11.40 ✅ Tested on a console
7.00 ✅ Tested on a console
Every other firmware from 1.00 to 13.60 ⚠️ Supported, not yet tested on a console

If you run it on another firmware, please open an issue saying whether backup and sharing worked. Keep your own backup of your saves until you have confirmed it works on your firmware.

Install

  1. Copy pscloud-ca.pem to /data/pscloud-ca.pem on the PS5 (via FTP). It is needed only for cloud uploads.
  2. Send pscloud-dashboard.elf to your ELF loader (port 9021).
  3. On a phone or computer on the same network, open http://<PS5-IP>:8082.

To update: press Stop PSCloud in the dashboard, then send the new ELF.

The dashboard has no password. Use it only on your home network; never expose port 8082 to the internet.

Features

  • Share saves between consoles, for any game. Only the game progress is shared; the receiving console keeps its own save keys. Works between any firmware, for example 7.00 ↔ 11.40. Large saves can be shared slot by slot.
  • Receive a shared save: drag the ZIP onto the page and follow the steps. If the profile has no save yet, start the game once until it saves, then close it.
  • Compact backups, about 92% smaller than full save copies, to a local queue and optionally to Nextcloud/WebDAV.
  • Back up automatically when a game closes (off by default, in Cloud settings).

Safety

  • The game must be fully closed before any backup or replace.
  • A shared save is checked on a temporary copy first; your save is replaced only if the check passes.
  • A rollback copy of your original save is always kept.
  • On every firmware except 11.40, backups always use the compact format.

Known limitations

  • A game must be installed and must have created its own save before a shared save can be used.
  • Automatic backup on game close has not yet been observed with a real game.
  • Some games may tie saves to an account or region; a passed check does not guarantee every game loads the save.
