Learn how you can be added to future betas automatically and receive an exclusive PSN avatar in the process.
We’re getting ready for the next major system update for PS4, and can use some help from PS4 owners to test it out ahead of launch. Starting today, you can sign up for a chance to be a beta tester and get an advance look at some of the improvements and new features coming to PS4. And good news for Canadian folks – beginning this beta, PS4 owners in Canada are also able to register for the beta testing.
You can register to be a beta tester anytime between today and the start of the beta expected in February. Users must be 18 years or older. Once the beta starts, we’ll close registration.
Beta testers for our previous major system software update, version 5.00, got a preview of features like Family on PSN, friend list management, message improvements and much more before launch.
If you’re part of the program, you’ll receive an email with instructions on downloading the beta version of the next system software. In order to sign up, you’ll need a PS4 system with an internet connection and SEN account. And remember — you can roll back to the previous system software at any time.
And starting this beta, you can choose to be added to future betas automatically without having to register again. If you choose to do so, you’ll receive an exclusive PSN avatar.
We’ll be back soon with an update on the features you can expect in the beta.
Many thanks to everyone signing up — especially our returning beta testers! Your feedback helps us make the system software update even better.
Please let there be the option to alphabetize games in our trophy collections again.

Maybe make it so that I can turn off microphone use so that I can use headphones without others being able to hear me.
I kept missing all the other beta programs, so I want to participate in this one!
Sign me up please!
ChiefPrice there’s something going on at Sony Rewards where you’re given points for trophies and those points can be exchanged for money to be used on the PlayStation Store..
I hope that I am able to help with this. Would be a pleasure.
In game video chat ! That is all I want. Gimme Gimme Gimme
I have never participated in the PlayStation Beta Testing before, and I would love to participate in this Beta. The reason why I would love to participate in the PlayStation Beta Testing, is because I want to try out new features for the PS4, and discover the features that PS4 might have, and see what needs improvements, and what features should be added. Hopefully, there will be more improvements to the firmware, and more features like the ability to change your username (like X-Box Live), should be added to PSN.
I would love the ability to sort games within a folder.
I would like to see my upload and download speeds om my ps4 pro and 1st ps4 gen console match the speeds I’m paying for , which work fine on all other devices on my network… meaning the upload and dowload speeds .. and yes , Nat type is always open open ps4 pro and all ports are fowarded for the PSN..I would also enjoy having the option to use ipv4 and ipv6 options on the ps4 network, do to, my ISP has upgraded my service to ipv6 , which no longer allows me to use Google’s dns 8.8.8.8 nor the open dns service to get my upload speeds above 2.0-3.5 on a 100 down and 10mbs up package … Please fix this issues for Notheren Maine gamers who luv right below Canada …
@cole213 It does exist. It’s in the Quick Menu under Devices, an option to Mute Microphone (whether from headphones in the controller, wireless headphones, or the PS Camera).
I would love to sign up. However, the page is basically blank for me except for having the words “Thank You. Please answer all the questions below.” For me there is nothing displayed below except for a blank, white background.
I never did this before but if it’s anything to make ps4 network etc better then I’d like to know about it especially if it’s gonna stop these people with modded accounts and the network crashing and not giving you all your jp and kds when u earn them I’ve been with PlayStation since day 1 I enjoy playing my system but anything to better the gaming experience better am in thanks
