In a move that should please PlayStation fans, Sony has rolled out a new beta program for the PS5. This initiative promises a more straightforward way for players to express interest in testing updates before they go live. This could be your chance if you’ve ever wanted a sneak peek at upcoming features or games.
The program, aptly named the “Beta Program at PlayStation,” allows participants to sign up once. Gone are the days of multiple signups and codes for each beta test, which often felt more like herding cats than actual testing. According to Sid Shuman from Sony, this program opens doors to game testing new console features and enhancements for the PlayStation App and even user experience tweaks on PlayStation.com.
The registration page should be live now. You can sign up for the program here if you’re ready to jump in. Keep your fingers crossed that you get picked!
