The cost of a lesser-known PS4 title is experiencing a dramatic increase in the second-hand market due to its importance in a new PS5 jailbreak. This game, with fewer than 1,000 physical copies available, has become highly sought after by both jailbreak enthusiasts and resellers.

The title in question is Star Wars Racer Revenge, specifically the Limited Run Games special physical re-release for the PS4. Initially sold in 2019, this collectible was launched by Limited Run, a company known for revamping classic titles into unique physical editions for fans.

What makes this game significant? A developer associated with the soon-to-be-released version 12.0 PS5 jailbreak has confirmed that this physical copy of Star Wars Racer Revenge is essential. The interest lies in a long-standing glitch in the game that allows players to insert code through its Hall of Fame menu, making it a crucial asset for executing the jailbreak.

As for availability, it may surprise you to know that these Limited Run editions were indeed part of a limited production. Consequently, they can no longer be purchased from the Limited Run Games website and are now only available through second-hand channels. According to their sales records, merely 8,500 copies were created, meaning your best chance is to search physical stores or navigate the complex online marketplace.

A glance at Ebay reveals a troubling array of overpriced listings for Star Wars Racer Revenge, with prices ranging from £70 to over £300 as opportunists capitalize on the game’s newfound significance to PS5 jailbreakers.

If you’re inclined to explore your console’s inner workings and unlock a range of exciting possibilities through unconventional methods, or if you happen to own an old copy of Limited Run Games’ release of Star Wars Racer Revenge, the start of 2026 could be quite thrilling.
