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.
I’ll be glad too aswell
I would like to participate.
I have a request to fix a minor but annoying pet peeve regarding turning on the PS4: It seems like damn PS button on the controller will turn on the console if you breath on it, or even glance in its general direction :-) But seriously, have a 2-second “long press” to turn on the console would be great. As it stands, if I pick up the controller to move it off the coffee table I have to make a conscious effort not to inadvertently brush up against the PS button for .001 nano seconds or I’ll turn on the console. For the love of Kratos please make it a 2-second long press like when bringing up the Quick Menu.
