Explained: Joining PS5 beta
To sign up, go to this link:
You’ll need to be over the age of 18 to get involved.
And you’ll need to be located in the UK, US, Canada, Japan, Germany and France.
Bear in mind that the voice control feature is a limited release for the US and UK only right now.
If you’re selected, you’ll get an email with instructions on how to download the beta version of the software.
You’ll need a PS5 console with an internet connection, as well as a PlayStation Network account.
Once you’re in, you’ll be automatically added to the potential participant pool for future updates – so you won’t need to re-register each time.
You can also restore your system software to a non-beta version at any time.
Bear in mind that although beta tests are a great idea for gadget geeks, they can create some issues.
Beta software can be buggy, so you might find your PS5 exhibiting strange behaviour.
