In a new post over on the official PlayStation Blog, Sony has announced that you can now sign up to join as a beta tester for the next Playstation 4 firmware update. You can register via this link.
The beta phase will start in March (no official date has been announced as yet) and, if you're chosen to take part, you will receive an email with all the details needed to download the beta. At the moment, the company hasn't provided additional information about the content coming in this new system software update. Below you can read the official post published by Sony:
Last September, we put a call out to PS4 owners to test out our next system software update, and since we're getting close to the release of our next system software update for PS4, we wanted to do it again! Starting today you can sign up to be a beta tester and get a sneak peek at some of the features making their way to your PS4.
Click here to sign up. The beta will kick off in early March, and if you're part of it, you'll receive an email with instructions on downloading the system software. You can roll back to the previous system software at any time, so don't worry about downloading the beta.
In order to sign up, you'll need a PS4 console with an internet connection and a master account. We'll share more details on which features you'll be able to test when the beta begins.
Be sure to join the PlayStation Forums to get access to our beta forums, so you can discuss the new features. We'll be monitoring the forums throughout the beta. While we can't always implement changes suggested by the community, it's really valuable for us to hear your feedback to help guide the direction we take. We're always listening!
We would like to thank everyone who signed up for the last beta, and we hope all of you (and those who didn't too) will sign up again. Don't wait too long to sign up - we're accepting a limited number of beta testers, so get in now before it's too late.
