Sign Up for the First PS5 System Software Beta Program

Help us test new console features before the next major system update later this year.

Since the launch of PS5, our teams have been working to continuously enhance your experience on the console. Later this year, we’re rolling out another major system update packed with new features, and we want your help testing them out!

Starting today, you can register for an opportunity to join the first-ever PS5 system software beta program at: https://www.playstation.com/ps5/ps5-beta-program-sign-up. Registration is open to players over the age of 18 in the U.S., Canada, Japan, U.K., Germany and France. By signing up, you could be among the first to put new features to the test and provide essential feedback that will help guide their development.

If you’re selected to be part of the program, you’ll receive an email with instructions on how to download the beta version of the next system software. In order to sign up, you’ll need a PS5 console with an internet connection and a PlayStation Network account. You will also be added to the potential participant pool for future PS5 system software betas automatically without having to register again. After the beta begins, you can restore your system software to the latest official release version before the beta program ends. 

Our last major PS5 system update in April introduced new features like USB extended storage, cross-generation Share Play, an improved Game Base and other UI enhancements and social features. We’ll share more in the coming weeks about what you can expect in the beta for our next update.

Whether you’re a new or returning PlayStation beta tester, we thank you for your support. Your feedback helps us make the console experience better for our whole community.

  • Oh btw we all know abandoned is actually silent hill blue box game studio Kojima something sus is going on with this situation we know

    • Abandoned looks kind of terrible low budget and awful, so kind of hope it isn’t that and Kojima isn’t involved. Otherwise his standards have reeeally slipped.

      Though if it was a reboot of that series it would be better if people who worked on that series were involved instead.

  • Pleeeeease let me install an internal NVMe drive to expand internal PS5 storage to play games off of, pleeeeeease! Also, let me organize/pin my games on my home screen <3.

    I also miss uploading screenshots to Facebook.

  • Sign me up! I don’t have a PS5 yet so if you can provide one I’d be grateful…. *sigh*
    I’ve had every PS since the 90’s… started getting multiple units when my boys got old enough to play.
    I might be waiting until I have grandkids old enough to play… :/
    Hey Sony… how about at least a queue for active PSN accounts to get a console…

  • I cant sign in because I cant seem to be able to buy one, instead I keep getting these links to join, here’s an idea playstation make more consoles so we dont have to spend 1k to 2k to buy a console.

  • What a cute sense of priorities. How about getting your supply chain in order first?

  • Very excited about this. Looking forward to testing out the new update but the link isn’t working and isn’t allowing me to register.🥲🥲

  • Hi, I ask the ban for MakyFilms be revised and lifted as it was unrightful.

  • More invites please too many bots buying up the ps5

  • Please be internal M.2 SSD support!! I pray

  • Nice.

    Regard,
    John Earwig

  • Is that the only countries listed it will stay exclusive to ? What about Australia ?

  • I couldn’t get in using chrome. Tried with the default Samsung browser and it worked! I was able to sign up

  • I hope the new system software update will address the problem I have had whenever I leave my external HDD connected to my PS5. It eventually ends up crashing my system and has to rebuild the database before it comes back up. Never have any problems when the external is removed.

    Also, I hope the SSD expansion slot will be usable too. I would appreciate you sharing info on what ones are supported so that I can confidently purchase one I know will work.
    Thanks.

  • How do I sign up to get a PlayStation because it’s almost been a Year and I still haven’t come close

  • I wish I could get the opportunity to purchase one so I could sign up, but since they’re so hard-pressed to find one and I work everyday and I can’t sit on the internet waiting for them to come up for sale I still haven’t purchased my new PS5 yet! Thanks PlayStation!

  • Can’t wait to see how much is going to change and hope that the new VR is one of the thing we get to test out.

  • All this talk and like 12 ppl own a ps5

  • How about you get the systems out first so everyone can have a chance to buy one. More than a year after the supposed launch date and still can’t be found.

  • I have been an avid playstation user since you hit the market. Definately switching to Xbox, at least I can find and buy that one.

  • How about adding the ability to backup PS5 game save files to a USB flash drive besides backing up to the cloud, like PS4?

  • The link to register is broken

  • I would really help with testing software BUT it is available only in several countries and my which is Poland is not there :(

  • But guys i support your business down here in Southafrica why not us too?

  • Gostaria que voltasse a aba “comunidades” para encontrar novos jogadores até pra jogar um demon’s souls remake:)

  • Dear PlayStation
    When can I receive software beta program? I live in Saudi Arabia.

  • please add 1440p 120hz

  • Why

  • As you are aware most of us loyal Playstation fans are unable to get your PS5 console because us greedy people with bots that buy them up and reselling them for ridiculous prices. My kids and I have bought 12 PS 1 through 4Pro, but we’re unable to buy the PS5. My 3 kids and I are sad, but we stay hopeful.

  • CrimsonComet0925

    When is the PS5 coming out for sure ?

  • I would like to participate because I would love to see what is in store for us . I already love the Playstation’s from all the speculation to all of the quality products .

  • I am so disappointed. What about the other countries? Do you know that we exists?

  • A console costing 1000 or 700 wouldn’t sell 20 million.

    The PS4 Pro didn’t do great and that was barely more expensive than the base.

    Historically, cheaper consoles have done well, expensive consoles have done terribly.

  • Boom!! Easy sign in and sign up.
    I don’t know why everyone is saying it’s so hard to get a PS5.
    When will my PS5 arrive ?

  • I can’t download it, sitting here in Austria, yes we speak german and are a small but significant country south of Germany and I believe I am on of the 10 people from Austria who managed to get a PS5, jokes aside but I really believe there are much Austrians who managed to get a PS5. And the damn page 404d on me. What the
    ……

  • Sad it´s only selected countries, give some love to all of EU, or at least Denmark ;)

    The no. 1 feature I’m hoping for is that you can create folders, or at least better filter/sort options as PS NOW already have…
    I have 500+ games in my collection and as it is now it is just a big mess. Not like my PS3 and PS4 where everything is neat organized in folders.
    And please make the trophy list vertical again as on PS3 and PS4, it gives you so much better overview.

    Keep up the good work!

  • I was thinking about signing up for this until I looked over the liability and more or less Sony says that even if the betta causes damage to your system or anything that they’re only liable for $10 of damages to you so I’m not going to risk my system anymore than I have to

  • I’d love to be apart of this program but since I STILL cant walk into a retail store to buy a PS5 I cant. Nevermind competing with scalper bots I just cant realistically see myself being able to purchase one anytime soon. At least most games are cross gen which I do absolutely appreciate.

  • Can’t sign up because I’m in Australia – what a bunch of B.S. Want to sign up and help make the console better but can’t because of some stupid geo blocking what a crock

  • Its BS because Sony doesn’t respect its Australian fanbase

  • I’d love to sign up for a email invite for a PS5.

  • Lol
    Always beta on ps4
    I have a ps5 so i wane test to

    You see whitch contry are moast inportant to sony .

    Folders
    Option buton + pad same time = standby – restart ore power off option

  • Please add 1440p native output, thank you!

  • I enjoy my Ps5 everyday,because this version is one of the best PlayStation I ever see 🙌 please try and have your own and see what I’m experiencing everyday 👍

  • can you guys be kakashi

  • Let’s get some PS5’s in production and in stores before there’s an update.

  • I can’t wait for an OS update for the console I can’t buy.

    • I get it though. Sony doesn’t control the production of all the hardware components and, honestly, I’d rather have a solid OS when I finally get my hands on one.

  • What would be even cooler? A chance to get the PS5 without going through scalpers. Toughest and worst console launch in history. Please do something to get more consoles in peoples hands, and do something to stop scalpers. Track serial numbers 1 or 2 consoles per person. No more.

  • I really hope 1440p support patch is comming soon

  • Thank you so much Sony PlayStation for all things ❤
