Yes—but with major caveats.
The real working version is not a magical cheat menu for all games. Instead, it is a payload loader for custom firmware (CFW) PS3s. If you have a PS3 running Rebug, Ferrox, or Evilnat CFW (version 4.88–4.91), you can find a modified version of Codebreaker’s database as a PKG.
However, the term "exclusive" is misleading. There is no official Codebreaker PKG signed by Sony. The exclusive nature comes from closed beta releases shared between high-level modders on forums like PSX-Place, PS3ISO, and NextGenUpdate. These PKGs often have unique features like:

Standard PS3 consoles cannot run PS2 cheat discs natively. The later "Slim" and "Super Slim" models rely on software emulation (via ps2_emu.self). A physical cheat disc requires raw hardware access to the PS2’s I/O processor—something the PS3 Hypervisor blocks.
The Codebreaker PS3 PKG Exclusive solves this by bundling three key components:
When you launch the PKG, it momentarily hijacks the PS2 emulation process, applies the codes, then boots your ISO or disc. This process is why it is "exclusive"—no retail product ever did this. Yes—but with major caveats
Before proceeding, please note that modifying your console carries risks. Always back up your data.
With tools like Bruteforce Save Data and PS3 Cheat Editor becoming the standard for save modification, the Codebreaker PS3 PKG is often viewed as a piece of history. It is less user-friendly than modern tools but remains a fun, "exclusive" way to experience the nostalgia of the cheat device era.
With Sony releasing PS2 games on PS4 and PS5 (via the PlayStation Plus Premium tier), many wonder if a similar PKG could exist for those consoles. When you launch the PKG, it momentarily hijacks
Short answer: Unlikely for now.
The PS5 uses a proprietary PS2 emulator (ps2_emu) that is sandboxed much tighter than the PS3’s. The hypervisor on PS5 has not been publicly exploited to the level needed for RAM manipulation. Furthermore, the PS5 does not support installing arbitrary .pkg files without a full jailbreak (which currently exists only up to firmware 4.03 on PS5—a very rare condition).
Thus, the PS3 remains the ultimate cheat machine for Sony’s legacy catalogs, and the Codebreaker PS3 PKG Exclusive is the crown jewel of that ecosystem.
