Does anyone know if the PS5 still runs on a variant of FreeBSD like the PS4? Just curious...

Considering that the ps5 can play all PS4 games it seems highly likely.

That doesn't necessarily require that the base system be the same system; for an extreme case, there's no reason they couldn't just stick the PS4 OS in a VM. (I mean, I tend to agree and I think it's most likely that the new OS is just an enhanced version of the old one. I just want to point out that mere compatibility is only weak evidence.)

Rumours say FreeBSD 12. PS4 used 9.
