PS5 Payload Manager
A modern, web-based dashboard to easily manage, import, and automatically load payloads on your PS5.
Features
- Web-Based Interface: A modern dashboard to manage payloads from your PC, phone, or the PS5 itself.
- Import Payloads: Easily add new payloads from a USB drive or download them from the cloud repository.
- Automated Startup: Set up a list of payloads to load automatically whenever you start the manager.
- Home Screen Shortcut: Installs a dedicated "Payload Manager" app icon to your PS5 home screen for quick access.
- Auto-Close Disc Player: Optional setting to automatically close the Disc Player on startup (useful for BD-JB users).
Installation
Using an Autoloader (Recommended)
It is highly recommended to use Payload Manager together with an Autoloader:
pldmgr.elf is already included as the default payload in the latest versions of the Autoloaders linked above.
If you are using an older version and don't want to update the entire autoloader, you can simply:
- Place
pldmgr.elfinto yourautoloaddirectory. - Add
pldmgr.elfas the only entry in yourautoload.txtconfig file.
Standalone / Manual Loading
You can also manually load the manager like any other .elf file. Grab the latest version from the Releases page.
Custom Repositories
You can add third-party payload repositories to the manager. To learn how to create your own repository JSON and host it, see the Custom Repositories Guide.
