Gibbed on Every Platform
PC is trivial; consoles range from free-and-easy to paid-or-jailbreak. Here's the whole landscape, ranked by how much of a fight it is, so you know what you're in for before you start.
Console saves are encrypted and signed; PC saves aren't. So every console path is the same shape — decrypt, edit in Gibbed, re-encrypt/re-sign — and the only thing that changes is the tool and how hard it is to get. The concept lives in the SHA1 guide.
Pick your platform
PC — Steam & Epic
No encryption, no extra tools. Open the save, edit, save. Epic and Steam share the exact same format.
PlayStation 3
No jailbreak needed. Decrypt over USB, edit, then re-encrypt the PFD. Free and straightforward.
Xbox 360
No jailbreak needed. Extract with Horizon, edit, Rehash & Resign. The friendliest console path.
Nintendo Switch
The editor officially supports Switch, but you need a modded (custom-firmware) console to move the save.
PS Vita
Stock Gibbed has no Vita option. Cross-save the character to a PS3 and edit there, or go homebrew. No PS3 and no CFW is a dead end.
PS4 / PS5
Vanilla Gibbed can’t read PS4 saves directly. Needs paid Save Wizard or a jailbroken console, plus a fork.
On PC single-player there's no ban risk. But re-injecting modified saves onto Xbox Live, PSN or Nintendo's network runs into those platforms' terms of service — a genuinely different risk. The full picture is in is it safe.
