PS4’s next massive system update is coming, and they want beta testers

The next PlayStation 4 system update is coming soon. The PlayStation team has announced that they want beta testers for the platform.

Beta testers saw the PlayStation 4’s fresh UI when they tried 4.00 before the rest of us, and that included the folders feature and the new Quick Menu. If you want to get a glimpse of what’s coming before it’s live, you now have a chance.

Here’s what the PlayStation Blog offers about the program:

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 with an internet connection, and access to a Master Account. And remember — you can roll back to the previous system software at any time.

How can you become a beta tester?

Simple. Sign up for a chance. Sony’s opened signups for the 4.5 software beta. They’ll collect participation requests from now until February when the beta rolls out. Signing up doesn’t guarantee you a spot, so heads up.

We’ll have more on system version 4.5 as it comes.
