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.
Not bad, Sony. I sure hope this can make the hundreds of thousands of people happy since they still “can’t” get ahold of a console.😵💫😵💫
Why not in Brazil?
People crying cause they don’t have a PS5 lol 🤣

Where’s the ps5 custom side plates black ones would be nice
All over Amazon and ebay.
VRR, ALLM, Dolby Atmos need to be added. VRR and ALLM are part of the HDMI 2.1 specification!
First, why Iran is not in the beta version experience. Second, now that you have threw a hand in the hole of the PlayStation5 Persian language, add to it Parsi. Thank you, Japanese.
Would love some 1440p support. <3
+1
Hope to see 1440P HDR 120fps.
🙈
But that is what i hope all the time when i see a little update. 🤣🤣🤣
Sony, it would be really nice if you would include Africa in testing, user experiences and events in general. Why are we always forgotten and segregated from the rest of the world.
Africa is never ever represented and as bad as it may sound, it seems like there is some kind of bias towards the Americas, Europe even Asia has representation.
Its really unfair to an annoying extent. We contribute to sales regardless.

Feel for you bud ! hang in there it might get expanded over time to other countries
I ordered PS5 in Slovakia in november and it arrived in early April.
I would love this I’m still a PS4 player
I would like the email for the opportunity to purchase a PS5, instead of this chaos internet mad max style fight for one…..
Looking forward to it!
1440p is necessary, please add it as a native resolution!
What’s the point you would think they would have all hands on getting the systems to the people never mind I’m proving something that’s not out there. And what’s the point when they bring a new one out next year anyway. So yer what’s the point
PLEASE! We need 1440p support for Monitors!
Please add a option to make us able deactivate Rest Mode completely on PS5
I’ve always wanted to test products. I’ve tested data base programs for a state agency. However, the PS5 is unavailable to almost everyone I know.
Glad they are changing the software. We need folders!
The Pro didn’t sell “every unit available” as they’re still in stock. It also didn’t sell better than the base console at any point. So claiming that everyone would rush out to buy some super expensive console for performance is based on what?
That they just will? That “better” consoles don’t sell better? That historically almost every single generation without exception the cheapest console sells the best?
You’re also forgetting barely any developers are going to bother supporting a 20 million userbase. Just like barely any developers bothered supporting the Pro in any meaningful way. It wont gain them many more sales but takes time and money, so makes no business sense.
There probably will be a PS5 Pro at some point. But it will be about the same as the current PS5. Also probably like the Pro it will get no support and be a bit pointless (and loud).
I whdr like to have that
Wow! Not only I was lucky enough to get a PS5 recently and now this. Registered!
the ps5 is a great system better then ps4 but I collect systems will there be a ps6 coming soon?
playstation rocks
Are you for real ? PS6 if any won’t be for another 7 or more years
Enjoy the PS5 for now
Why can I not play ps4 tournaments on ps5.
Has anyone received an email from Sony confirming you were acceptance as a software beta tester? If not, any news on when they might start sending the emails?
@Barrow30
PS5 isn’t just available in those countries smh ! I am in Australia and have a PS5 it’s up to how the rollout starts and will expand to other countries
Shame there is no feedback or features suggestion page for PS5 – for us that cannot be part of this beta .It would be awesome
So many things I love what PS5 does but still can improve on the current Cards system which I do love ( and especially game tips)
Missing my Dynamic themes and folders etc…
Stop with that fanboy crap seriously it’s getting tiring see childish immature behaviours
You cannot be this triggered to not let others enjoy playstation games on PC and it’s a great move from them and support it fully
you need to get a social life and calm down
Why not make it available for Brazilian players?
Hola Soy Español, tengo 35 años i Juego desde que tengo uso de razon, me encanta encontrar bugs i errores en los juegos.
Agradeceria la oportunidad de poder ser beta tester.
( El link no funciona.)
how about you just let us sign up to get an damn PS5 in the first place
stop letting ebay scalpers ruin your console
If I had an extra console I would be more than willing to be a beta tester. As it stands currently I cannot afford to potentially brick or damage my console for the benefit of PlayStation and the rest of PS5 users. Its cool that there is this open invite for beta testing but I’d cautious going forward with this program.
I’ll happily beta test if it’s for 1440p support!
What the PS5 needs is an UPDATE that gives it Stereoscopic 3D playback!! I own EVERY PS3 and PS4 game that has Stereoscopic 3D! I still have 5 top notch Panasonic Plasma 3D (TC-P65VT50s) TV sets , and a few top notch for their time SONY 75″ OLED 4K 3DTV sets! I also happen to own over 500 3D BluRay movies, and a 3D Projector!
Those of us that invested into the 3D market love this format, and it’s silly for the PS5 to talk about having 3D Sound but picture quality that is as flat as paper! If the PS3, (Fat, Slim, Super Slim et all), and all forms of the PS4, (Fat, PRO, Slim etc.) to also support 3D BluRay movie discs and the PS4 games that use this awesome feature!
Please update the PS5 so we can use it for our 3D Stereoscopic games and BluRay movies! I was shell shocked that the PS4 PRO can play PS4 games like Sniper Elite 3 and 4, Zombie Army Trilogy, Super Stardust HD, Bound, (and more) with superior visual quality, AND it was shocking as well to see certain PS3 gamess downgraded from the journey from the PS3 to the PS4! Games like Sine Mora, Shadow of the Coloseuss, Uncharted 3, to name just a few.
It was sad enough to see Stereoscopic 3D disappear from your consoles for no good reason, *they still release 3D movies on Bluray, and still show 3D movies in theatres to this very day*, so please, don’t force us to keep the PS4 PRO’s or PS3s sitting out gathering dust when we could just get an update to give the PS5 proper streoscopic 3D support for our movies and PS4 3D games!
VRR, ALLM, M.2 storage still missing. VRR and ALLM are part of the HDMI 2.1 spec, so they should be included. The PS5 support page says the PS5 supports HMDI 2.1, this is blatently false. Also, no support for Dolby Atmos? M.2 Expansion? 1440p support? These things need to be addded, how does PS5 remain competitive when Sony competitors all have these technologies built in day one and PS5 still doesn’t after 8 months?
Where’s the custom dynamic themes at ps4 has them not ps5 Sony what’s taking so long ps5 released 12rh/11/2020 and we still don’t have them seriously 🤡
Need 1440p support please….
