# Orbit Store 1.8.4 (Beta)

Source: https://orbitstore.dev/releases/1.8.4/ · Updated 2026-11-04

**TorBox filtering and fixes across Orbit.**

- **Find downloads supported by TorBox.** With TorBox connected, choose **Browse → Source → TorBox available** to find games with a supported download option. You can save this choice with your other filters.
- **Clearer extraction errors.** Orbit explains when an archive is damaged, incomplete or uses unsupported compression.
- **News from Orbit.** Short notices about catalogue additions and other Orbit news can appear in the native PS5 app, browser (ELF) and Orbit Zero.
- The catalogue now has **2,261 games and 5,084 download options**, plus **631 add-ons with 633 options across 197 base games**.

> **Orbit stays free.** [Orbit Store](https://github.com/saawant12/orbit-store-ps5), [Orbit Zero](https://github.com/saawant12/orbit-store-ps5#orbit-zero-for-mac-windows-and-linux), [Orbit Play](https://github.com/saawant12/orbit-play-ps5) and our upcoming apps are free and will stay free.

> I’ve been building Orbit in my own time and covering the costs of AI tools, test consoles, hardware and servers. If you’d like to help, you can [support Orbit via crypto](https://github.com/saawant12/orbit-store-ps5/issues/131#user-content-support-with-crypto). It’s entirely optional.

We’re also shipping improvements and bug fixes across our apps:

## Orbit Store · Native PS5 app (FFPKG) and browser (ELF)

- **Chinese, Japanese and Korean show correctly in the native app.** With one of these languages selected, most text showed as question marks.

  **简体中文：** 原生应用现在可以正确显示中文、日文和韩文。\
  **繁體中文：** 原生應用程式現在可以正確顯示中文、日文和韓文。\
  **日本語：** ネイティブアプリで中国語、日本語、韓国語が正しく表示されるようになりました。\
  **한국어:** 이제 네이티브 앱에서 중국어, 일본어, 한국어가 올바르게 표시됩니다.

- **Back keeps your place.** In the browser, returning from a game page keeps your position in Browse or Discover, with the same game selected.
- **More accurate genre filtering.** Games listed under several genres, such as Action and Horror, now appear under each matching filter.

## Orbit Zero · Mac, Windows and Linux

- **Improved TorBox download handling.** Zero uses up to four connections for TorBox and makes fewer requests while downloading. Choosing one connection now uses a continuous transfer, with saved progress retained when resuming.
- **Circle goes back from game pages.** In the Cinema and Panorama layouts, Circle or Esc now leaves a game page and returns you to the same spot in the list, with that game still selected.
- **More accurate genre filtering.** Games listed under several genres now appear under each matching filter.

[Install Orbit Zero on Mac, Windows or Linux](https://orbitstore.dev/guides/orbit-zero-installation/) · [Install Orbit Store on PS5](https://orbitstore.dev/guides/getting-started/#install-the-native-tv-app)

<br>

## Install Orbit Zero on your computer

Choose the package matching your computer from **Assets**: macOS DMG, Windows installer or ZIP, or Ubuntu/Debian DEB. Linux TAR.GZ packages are also available. Both ARM64 and x64 builds are included; Linux DEB names use **amd64** for Intel/AMD computers. Quit the older app before installing the new version. See the [installation guide](https://orbitstore.dev/guides/orbit-zero-installation/) for setup and operating-system permissions.

## Install the native TV app (FFPKG)

Download `PPSA99177.ffpkg` from **Assets**, verify its `.sha256`, and copy it to `/data/homebrew/` on your PS5. Let ShadowMountPlus register it, then open **Orbit Store** from the Games row. Native app **1.12.5** includes the matching Orbit Store **1.8.4** service.

If an older Orbit service is running, select **Stop Orbit to restart** in its browser interface before opening the updated app so the new service can start. Pairing, settings and your queue remain saved. This control is under **App settings → Updates & startup** in this release; older releases may call the section **Update / reinstall** or **Updates**. [Native installation and update guide](https://orbitstore.dev/guides/getting-started/#update-the-tv-app).

## Use or update the browser version (ELF)

Download `orbit_store.elf` and its `.sha256` from **Assets**, verify the checksum, then run the ELF through Payload Manager or your ELF loader. Open the Orbit shortcut in the Media tab, or `http://<ps5-ip>:34177/` on another device on the same local network.

To replace a running older version, select **Stop Orbit to restart**, then launch the new ELF. Orbit Zero also includes the matching ELF under **Console → Start Orbit on PS5**, so you can upload it from your computer without downloading the ELF separately.

On Orbit 1.5.0 or later, **Update Orbit** updates the TV app and the service together. In the native app from 1.8.2 on, select **Close and reopen** when asked; the reopened app starts its bundled service. Browser-only users can restart automatically with an active ELF loader on port 9021, or launch the updated ELF manually through their payload manager.

## Downloads and source

- `orbit_store.elf` is the PS5 service and browser interface; `PPSA99177.ffpkg` is the native TV app with the same service included.
- `Orbit-Zero-*` files are the desktop packages. Choose the operating system and architecture matching your computer.
- The `orbit-store-1.8.4-source-bundle.zip` contains the corresponding Store application and dependency sources, licence notices and rebuild instructions.
- `SHA256SUMS` covers the release assets. Verify a binary with `shasum -a 256 -c <filename>.sha256`, or use `SHA256SUMS` for the desktop packages.

## Update fix

- **Orbit Zero:** Fixed an issue where paused or failed downloads stopped you from adding a new download to your computer, even when there was enough free space. To get the fix, download Orbit Zero again from **Assets** and install it over your current version.
