Watch homebrew code run Steam games on the PS4
The problem, as with many such mods, is aligning the stars so that you can get it all running. At last check, you need a PS4 with a relatively ancient version of Sony's operating system (1.76) to jailbreak and install Linux. Also, there's no simple package that includes everything you need; this will require some elbow grease. There's talk of a possible jailbreak for much newer software (3.50), though, and it won't be surprising if it's eventually trivial to run Steam games on the same system you use for Uncharted.

It's great to see so much progress on the jailbreak / linux side. Although granted, running homebrew on a 3.50 version would no doubt have consequences and could subsequently end in either account(s) and or console being banned. Only thing I want to see released other than a Jailbreak for newer FW versions would be for Sony to step-up their game and release some backwards compatible games. I mean the old 80GB PHAT PS3 was backwards compatible. Seems like they're just being lazy.

A lot of people don't understand the potential when they see this. They think that it's another platform running on another platform but oh my sweet jesus this is amazing.

Next Gen "consoles" will just be typical PC's with an Xbox/PS UI program that runs on startup.
