Sony is looking for PS4 system software beta testers – here’s how to sign up

Ever wanted to be one of hand-picked few that Sony enlists to test out its latest firmware updates for the PlayStation 4 before they’re rolled out to the general public? Well, you’re in luck, as the American branch of Sony is looking for respondents for that very task.

Coming courtesy of SCEA’s VP of Platforms Marketing John Koller on Sony’s U.S. PlayStation Blog, here’s how you enter:

”Calling all PS4 fans! Before we launch our next major system software update, we’re running a beta program to test its functionality. If you’d like to get a sneak peek at the features of the new system software, and help us with feedback on ways to improve it, sign up today.

You can sign up to be a beta tester here. You will need a PS4 system (of course), an Internet connection, and a master account — sub-accounts cannot participate in the program. Make sure you’re a member of the PlayStation Forums in advance to get access to our beta forums. Also, beta testers will be able to roll back to the previous PS4 system software update (v2.57) anytime.

The beta program will start in early September, and we’ll have more information on the new features included at that time. We are accepting a limited number of beta testers, so if you’re interested, sign up sooner rather than later.

Thanks in advance for helping test the system software update — your feedback will go a long way toward making this even better.”

Not only will be at the forefront of testing new firmware you’ll also become eligible for various other beta offerings, which may include multiplayer testing or a whole array of other good stuff.

What are you waiting for – get on it!
